Logistic Planning and Management involves planning.  Planning requires some level of research skills and understanding of the product's supply chain.  Since logistics contribute value and growth to an organization by ensuring availability of production materials, warehousing, and transportation of finished goods, critical thinking is also needed.  To determine the best delivery routes and achieve cost-effective packaging of goods, maths and reasoning skills would be deployed.  This makes this skill very important.  The manager will also need to measure, analyse, and improvise at any time.  This requirements calls for math and reasoning skills as well.
