Logistics planners are the master strategists of the shipping world. They are responsible for coordinating the shipping and receiving of supplies, goods, foods, and people. The goods and supplies logistics planners deal with vary based on their industry of employment. The manufacturing and freight industries are their biggest employers. Supermarkets also need logistics planners to coordinate produce and food deliveries. Logistics planners do most of their work from an office and within typical office hours, but their duties can include periodic visits to manufacturing sites and warehouses.
