Fri, 25 May 2012 10:07:56 GMT

In a manufacturing unit, one needs to move raw materials and finished goods from one site to the other. In a retail unit, one needs to move finished goods into and out of the retail store. Logistics and supply chain helps in the easy movement of goods in the textile industry. Textile logistics has become as important as any other aspect of the textile industry.
