How does systems engineering differ from logistics engineering?

Solution

System Engineering is the inter-disciplinary field focusing on design and management of complex systems. It deals with optimization methods and risk management tools. It is the overlap of various disciplines like Industrial Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Logistics Engineering etc.

Logistics Engineering is related to purchase, transport, distribution, warehouse and storage of material and finished goods.

Thus, System Engineering is a much wider discipline compared to Logistics Engineering and incorporates different aspects of work. The systems engineering focuses on finding the problems existing which should be resolved but analyzing the details. The Logistics Engineering is related to routine operations relating to Logistics field and ensures that work is carried out smoothly.

So, both the fields are different from each other
