The current trends in logistics are reviewed. The author posits that the forces of technology and competition are driving logistics to a more process oriented approach. A classification schema is proposed for evaluating the logistics function along the axes of physical v. non physical focus and internal v. external focus. Future directions of logistics are considered in light of these forces.
