🚛Logistics Administration: A Step-by-Step Daily Workflow with Linux🚛

WHAT IS LINUS Linux is an operating system like Windows, but it’s free, customizable, and used everywhere—from your phone to Google’s servers

STEP 1 CREATE A FOLDER
mkdir logistics_admin
cd logistics_admin

STEP 2 CREATE A SUB FOLDER
mkdir invoices staff reports and type ls to list the directories

STEP 3 CREATE A FILES WITH TOUCH
touch invoices/invoice1.txt invoices/invoice2.txt
touch staff/staff1.txt staff/staff2.txt

STEP 4 ADD CONTENT TO THE FILE
Inside the editor: vim invoices/invoice1.txt
Invoice ID: INV001
Client: NNPC
Amount: 1200
Status: Pending
👉 Save & exit in vim: press Esc, type :wq, then hit Enter

STEP 5 ViEW CONTENT WITH CAT
cat invoices/invoice1.txt

cat staff/staff1.txt

STEP 6 COPY AND MOVE FILES
Copy an invoice into reports:
cp invoices/invoice1.txt reports/

Move a staff record into reports:
mv staff/staff2.txt reports/

CONCLUSION
This project demonstrates how basic Linux commands can be effectively applied to administrative tasks in a logistics department. By using simple tools such as mkdir, touch, vim, ls, cat, cp, mv, pwd, we created and managed invoices, staff logs, and daily reports in an organized structure. Each command served as a practical step in simulating real administrative duties, such as creating records, reviewing documents, searching for pending invoices, and generating reports.

The workflow shows that Linux is not only a powerful operating system for developers and system administrators but also a practical tool for logistics management and administration. With its simplicity, speed, and flexibility, Linux provides a reliable environment to improve efficiency, ensure accurate record-keeping, and streamline daily operations in the logistics sector.
