wanted to now more about logistic and transportation because of this the below literature
is studied

1. Literature Review:
(Marketing-oriented approach to evaluating the strategy of distribution management
for innovative products in logistics – 2016) [1] Based on the research this is to evaluate the
strategies of distribution management for innovative products in logistics by the chemical
companies. The main indicators on the chemical industry in the global market are analysed.
The authors combined them into four main groups: innovation, digitalization, integration and
ecologization. The strategy of distribution management for innovative products in logistics
according to consumer's perspectives forms the basis for the selection the most objective
strategic alternative in the chemical company. According to the evaluation results it is
determined that the strategy needs to be improved by growing rate of the benefit indicator
compared to the rate of price growth.

2. Literature Review:
(Impact of Logistics Management on Customer Satisfaction: A Case of Retail Stores of
Islamabad and Rawalpindi – 2019) [2] Conducted study revealed a considerable
relationship between customer happiness and logistics, lead time, lead inventory, and
transportation. The present research solely examines the geography of Islamabad and
Rawalpindi; consequently, future studies must include investors from other regions of the
nation in order to provide more accurate and generalizable findings. Future research may,
however, also make use of huge sample sizes. Consumer happiness depends on strategies like
using numerous efficient transportation systems to cut down on lead times, maintaining store
inventories, and ensuring that the products the customer needs are available.

3. Literature Review:
(Logistics and distribution innovation in China – 2018) This essay's goal is to examine
how two megatrends, e-commerce and urbanisation, may change the way logistics is done
globally. The main emphasis is on how Chinese business methods and logistics
advancements are becoming more and more important to the USA and other western nations.

4. Literature Review:
(Green Transportation and Logistics Performance: An Improved Composite Index –
2019) [4] The environmental logistics performance index (ELPI) measures the overall
performance in green transportation and logistics practices of 112 countries. ELPI effectively
reflects the trad off between logistics efficiency and environmental protection in
transportation. During our study period, high income countries performed best, while Sub-
Saharan Africa countries performed worst.

5. Literature Review:
(The Competency Development of Multimodal Transportation Management for
Logistics Professional in Thailand – 2017) [5] Research aimed to develop the competency
in multimodal transportation management in logistics professionals of Thailand. The research
methodology used a quantitative approach to conduct focus group with entrepreneurs of
logistics firms in Thailand. Findings were validated with the panel of 20international freight
forwarding experts and association representatives. Further training and assessment with
certification process will be executed with logistics professionals to improve the effectiveness
of managing multimodal transportation in Thailand.

6. Literature Review:
(Logistics and distribution challenges to managing operations for corporate
sustainability: Study on leading Indian diary organizations – 2017) [6] Several key
challenges were identified based on a literature survey and experts' views. Graph theory and
matrix approach has been applied to select the most significant challenge. Results show that
food organizations must work on cold chain to manage logistics and distribution challenges
to reduce wastage, decrease financial losses and take environmental issues into account. This
is one of the unique studies in food supply chain that helps in improving the logistics and
supply performance in diary industries of emerging economies.

7. Literature Review:
(Research and Implementation of Electronic Commerce Logistics Distribution
Management – 2010) [7] This paper introduces GIS into the system of e-commerce logistics
distribution, displays electronic map through the integration of MapInfo and Visual Basic,
and presents an intelligent algorithm for state space searching for the shortest path. Realize
the firewall using a packet filtering, and complete foreground goods transportation over the
internet, and backstage logistics management and firewall. The experiment results show that
the management software can meet the requirement of the high-speed and low-cost
distribution in e-online retail. It also provides security so it can help decision makers to make
sensible decisions.
