Please see the following:

 

Supply chain management it is" know how" to do as per to have the right thing at the right place at the right time; particularly it could have been as internal also the logistics services as incorporated; depend of the company object of activities;

When we speak about a drilling oil company we have a particularly designated signification of what it means about of supply chain and when we speak about the global factory in the alimentary field or in the agriculture industry as well it is different;

Logistic services can have also as integrated as properly own supply chain depending on object of activities of the company and the importance as well;

 

If the object of activities will be as: manufacturing,raw materials, producing, purchasing @ procurement we can speak about of supply chain in this case the logistics services will be as incorporated;

Also the logistics services can  requested a properly supply chain for sustaining all the activities;
