Logistics is generally the detailed organization and implementation of a complex operation. In a general sense within the context of Starfleet, logistics is the part of supply chain management that plans, implements, and controls the efficient, effective forward, and reverse flow and storage of goods, services, and related information between the point of origin and the point of consumption in order to meet the requirements of Starfleet or those whom it serves.

The Naval Supply Systems Command (NAVSUP) is a division within Starfleet whose mission is to deliver sustained logistics and quality-of-life support to the Starfleet and Federation personal and facilities. The complexity of logistics is modeled, analyzed, visualized, and optimized by dedicated simulation software. The minimization of the use of resources is a common motivation in all logistics fields. A professional working in the field of logistics management is called a logistician.
