Week 4 Assignment 2

I have narrowed my search to logistics management. This article helped me to understand how important time is to a logistic manager. The Logistics Reporting Tool LRT system had some bugs, but as a logistics manager part of their job is to implement new software to ultimately help make things as efficient as possible. “LRT most importantly saves time and effort and puts logisticians back to work doing logistics work instead of PowerPoint slides and Excel spreadsheets” (Kibbey).

Previously I used google for most of my searches. I was able to explore General Databases more for this assignment. I have used Academic OneFile - Gale Cengage a few times but never Academic Search Premier - EBSCO Industries.  I was searching; logistics management, logistic managers, logistics responsibilities. I had no luck finding anything interesting or useful. There were a lot of articles on particular logistics statistics and comparing logistics to other companies. I wanted more basic information about the importance of logistics to a company and the benefits.

I will now attempt to enhance my research to learn about more day to day responsibilities of logistics management. I will more than likely conduct some google searches and then go back to general databases to find specifics on logistics responsibilities.
