Abstract

Today we still have some doubts about definition of logistics, thus we strive to find a uniform one. As very professionals CSCMP gave definition of logistics which we found not suitable for definition of logistics in general, since it covers only business and industrial area. Our general objective was to find common understanding of the context of logistics as a discipline which will enable better collaboration between multiple entities in different environments, as they can understand and interoperate with each other correctly. With analysis of some logistics subcategories we first created definitions for them and then compared with each other and also with the one from CSCMP. As a result we create new upgradable definition of logistics in general and also found out some common elements of definitions of military and sports logistics, of definitions of business / industrial and agricultural logistics, as well as of definitions of humanitarian logistics and logistics in health care.
