CHAPTER ONE

1.1            INTRODUCTION

Modern marketing is concerned with the performance of the activities through which the needs of consumers is a society are identified and satisfied through the exchange process. It’s main interest is how to satisfy the identified needs of the people in a society.    The new orientation in marketing discipline has entailed its search for various ideas, concepts and contribution from other older disciplines that can be of any help in achieving the goal of consumer satisfaction.

One of the discipline that have made on in road into marketing to help, establish it as multi disciplinary  quasi- science is marketing logistics.

Olakunori (1999:6) States that since 1950 when logistics made an entry into marketing, it gained an increasing popularity.    This is as a result of its immense contributions to marketing’s achievement of its overriding goal of consumer satisfaction.

Okakunoni (1999:7) quotes Ballow (1973:6) He sees marketing logistics as planning organizing and controlling of all moveable activities  that facilitate product flow from the point of raw material acquisition to the point of final consumption and of the attendant information flows, for the purpose of providing a sufficient level of customer service (and associated revenues) consistent with the cost incurred for overcoming the resistance of time and space in providing the service.

Ani (1998) believe that marketing logistics is concerned with function of physical transfer of goods.  It concern basically with two activities namely.

–                     Movement of goods from one place to another, including storage when necessary

–                     Condition of customer demand with supply of goods which can be made available to meet to.

Marketing logistics ensures’ that the activities of the material management  and physical distribution function are well integrated and performed effectively and efficiently, so as to save cost and optimize the satisfaction of customers.
