Logistics deals more with planning, information flow, and improving on the ways to get the product to the consumer. Distribution is basically just the process of physically getting the product to the consumer.
Freight refers to the physical goods being transported from one place to another, while logistics refers to the management of the flow of goods, including transportation, storage, and distribution. Freight is a component of logistics, which encompasses a broader range of activities to ensure effective movement of goods.
Actually, warehousing is a subset of logistics, not a separate activity.Warehousing is holding inventory in a location. Logistics is the entire process of obtaining materiel from sources to putting it in the hands of users. Logistics includes transportation, information systems, warehousing and distribution, procurement, finance, performance metrics and so on.
Distribution and logistics are closely interconnected components of supply chain management. Distribution refers to the process of delivering products from manufacturers to end consumers, while logistics encompasses the planning, execution, and management of the flow of goods, services, and information throughout the supply chain. Effective logistics strategies are essential for optimizing distribution efficiency, ensuring timely delivery, and reducing costs. Thus, successful distribution relies heavily on robust logistics operations.
Procurement is about buying. Logistics is about transporting.
With distribution the receiver of goods is the end user, whereas transport means goods can be moved to shippers as well.
Domestic logistics overlooks the distribution of goods within a country. International logistics overlooks the distribution of goods beyond country boundaries. Managing logistics in domestic regions is quite different from managing logistics internationally. This is because of the much narrower geographic scope in a domestic setting. It is easy to build trustworthy relationships domestically. In international cases, different country regulations, geography and economic roadblocks present more challenges in building reliable relationships.For more info visit: Agility(dot)com

The standard normal distribution is a normal distribution with mean 0 and variance 1.
A simple continuous distribution can take any value between two other values whereas a discrete distribution cannot.
