Total Life Cycle Logistics

Total Life Cycle Logistics (TLC) refers to the comprehensive management of a product’s journey from initial design through its entire lifespan, including production, distribution, maintenance, and eventual disposal or recycling. It ensures that all logistical elements—like planning, sourcing, and transportation—are coordinated to maximize efficiency, reduce costs, and enhance performance. By considering each stage of a product's life, TLC helps organizations make informed decisions, improve customer satisfaction, and minimize environmental impacts, ultimately leading to a more sustainable and effective approach in managing resources and products.
