Logistics, which has been the sum of the responsibility that originates
from the resource assets, continues with the order of the customers and the
producer companies which supply the product during the time the customers use
the product. In conducting these
activities, the most effective way to succeed in logistics is to ensure that
correct product access is provided to the right customers. For the fact that
logistics is improving in the world, it is one of the sectors showing rapid
improvements in Turkey as well.

Turkey, faced with the fact that they are activities that are also beneficial
for bringing more income for the state’s economy, should be spread to more
