What is a logistics analyst?

A logistics analyst monitors the logistical functions of an organization. It’s your job to analyze these logistics, including the supply chain, to develop more efficient production and distribution systems. Your main duties are to collect and analyze data related to inventory levels, transportation delivery schedules, budget constraints, and product quality. The career requires at least a bachelor’s degree, typically in business management or operations engineering. Other qualifications are strong analytical skills, prior management experience, and knowledge of the specific industry. Most logisticians work in manufacturing.
