Global recession has had a major impact on logistics because every logistic department works on a specific pattern of demand and supply. Demand and supply can be very dynamic and they keep changing everyday. However, on an overall basis it is more or less standard if the big picture is taken into account.
Nonetheless, global recession has caused huge deficits in the logistic cycle by decreasing the demand for products and increasing the demand for warehousing in the logistics area. What will the department do with having so many goods that are not being supplied? But, the production and manufacturing cycle has not stopped. During the recession cycle, the production cycle had no effect as the companies continue the manufacturing process.
What the recession has typically done is it has put a full stop on the consumer goods sector where the consumers are not buying that much anymore. Everyone has been cutting back. This has actually created a surplus of goods and obviously this has given a need for more space to store the surplus. Even a small disruption to the cycle can cause heavy losses in the form of surplus goods and inventory. The best way to combat this for the logistics department is to liquidize and mobilize goods by spreading out the locations and by supplying goods to those locations.
