LOGISTICS AND SUPPLY CHAIN INDUSTRY
1. INTRODUCTION:
Logistics refers to the overall process of managing how resources are acquired,
stored, and transported to their final destination. Logistics management involves
identifying prospective distributors and suppliers and determining their effectiveness
and accessibility. Logistics managers are referred to as logistician
"Logistics" was initially a military-based term used in reference to how military
personnel obtained, stored, and moved equipment and supplies. The term is now used
widely in the business sector, particularly by companies in the manufacturing sectors,
to refer to how resources are handled and moved along the supply chain.
Irrespective of where inventories may be held, transport to and from these
intermediate or endpoints is a major element of logistics management.
The primary objective of logistics management is to move the inventory in a supply
chain effectively and efficiently to extend the desired level of customer service at the
least cost as done parallel with waste management.
Logistics typically refers to activities that occur within the boundaries of a single
organization and Supply Chain refers to networks of companies that work together
and coordinate their actions to deliver a product to market. Also, traditional logistics
focuses its attention on activities such as procurement, distribution, maintenance, and
inventory management. Supply Chain Management (SCM) acknowledges all of
traditional logistics and also includes activities such as marketing, new product
development, finance, and customer service
Logistics management is that part of supply chain management that plans, implements
and controls the efficient, effective forward and reverse flow and storage of goods
services and related information between the point of origin and the point of
consumption in order to meet customers' requirements.

Supply chain management is defined as the systemic, strategic coordination of the

traditional business functions and the tactics across these business functions within a
particular company and across businesses within the supply chain, for the purposes of
improving the long-term performance of the individual companies and the supply
chain as a whole. Supply chain management encompasses the planning and
management of all activities involved in sourcing and procurement, conversion, and
all logistics management activities.
Supply chain is a global network of organisations that cooperate to improve the flows
of material and information between suppliers and customers at the lowest cost and
the highest speed. The final objective of a supply chain is customer satisfaction.
The supply chain management takes into consideration every facility that has an
impact on cost and plays a role in making the product match to customer
requirements: from supplier and manufacturing facilities through warehouses and
distribution centres to retailers and stores. The main purpose of the supply chain is to
maximise overall value generated. Value is the difference between
what the cost supply chain incurs and the worth end product has to the customer.
Value of the commercial supply chain is correlated with its profitability generally
known as supply chain surplus.
Effective supply chain management can provide direct improvement to your customer
service. This is because supply chain management processes will ensure that correct
quantity of the correct items will be delivered in a timely manner. Having an
interconnected network of suppliers and distributers will reduce delays and improve
customer satisfaction. In addition, supply chain management will usually increase
visibility and allow both customers and customer service personnel to know of the
status of each order at all times. Supply chain management is important because it can
help achieve several business objectives. For instance, controlling manufacturing
processes can improve product quality, reducing the risk of recalls and lawsuits while
helping to build a strong customer brand.
