Summary
and project logistics services constitute an important part of the sector. Project logistics
is the whole of the services provided for the project load, such as transportation,
distribution, storage, insurance, obtaining legal permits and installation processes.
Each project logistics service is unique and requires special tools, equipment, human
resources, analysis and planning. It is a systematic process that takes into account
customer needs for materials, equipment, facilities and infrastructures, usually for
communications, energy, transportation, mining, construction and general manufacturing
facilities. This book focuses on the planning and implementation processes of
project logistics services with a comprehensive perspective. The book is thought to be
a resource for industry professionals operating in the field of project logistics, scientists
conducting academic research on the subject, and all readers who are interested
in general project management processes and want to have an idea about application
areas in a certain industry such as logistics.

Introduction
The purpose of this book is to present a roadmap to ensure that the project logistics processes, which consist of initiation, organization, execution, monitoring, control and closing processes, are carried out effectively. In the first chapter, the concept of project logistics and its basic features are defined. The stages of the project logistics lifecycle, success and failure factors are explained. In addition, the general classification of projects and the location of project logistics are mentioned. In the second chapter, the authorities and responsibilities of the project manager and the project team are explained, the stages of a conflict process, its effects on the project, crisis and stress management are discussed. In the third chapter, information is given about organizational structures and features of the project. In this regard, the place of the project logistics unit in the organizational structure as a department of a company is compared with the organizational structures of logistics companies that carry out projects. In the fourth chapter, scope management is discussed in which how the project content will be created, which resources will be needed for how long and what will be delivered are defined. In the fifth chapter, there are explanations and solved examples of Gantt chart, PERT chart and CPM analysis, which are the basic tools and techniques used in making the time plan. In the sixth chapter, the risk management process, which includes the identification, analysis and evaluation of the risks in the project life cycle, and the measures to be taken against the risks in order not to adversely affect the project performance, is explained. In the seventh chapter, the subject of cost management, which consists of cost resource planning, cost estimation, budget determination and cost control sub-processes, and the methods used in project financing and evaluation of investments are explained. In the eighth chapter, the processes required to use human resources effectively are explained. In this context, organizational planning, which are the basic functions of human resources, employment of the needed personnel and development of the project team are discussed. In the ninth chapter, information is given about the communication process and the importance of effective communication in project logistics. In the tenth chapter, the subjects of supply chain and purchasing management are discussed. In this context, strategic, tactical and operational planning of the supply chain, supplier research and selection process, purchasing process, bargaining stages and approaches in purchasing are explained. In the eleventh chapter, quality planning, quality assurance and quality control processes and the tools used in each process are explained within the scope of quality management.
