Thanks for the Invitation !
Normally speaking, logistics will focus on the actual storage and transportation of goods. It deals with things such as warehousing, storage, communications during transit, reverse shipping, and inbound and outbound freight. In addition to that, logistics also deals with fleet management, coordination among third-party carriers, the delivery of goods and freight, and the actual transportation of goods from one point to another. Depending on that specific company’s needs, logistics management may also include customer service, communications, technology, party integration and procurement, price negotiation for different aspects of transportation, and manufacturing and packaging.
Most of the time, when talking about supply chain, we mean everything that is involved in the bigger picture. You can look at supply chain as the umbrella that encompasses all aspects of the procurement and sourcing of goods. Essentially, supply chain management manages and forms business-to-business links that enable the company to sell its goods to its consumers. Logistics meanwhile is about getting your freight from one place to the next, a function that is only a single part of the entire process, despite falling under the wide umbrella of supply chain management.
Supply chain management is an integrating, broad process that combines many other aspects besides logistics. These aspects may include inventory control, packaging, storage, manufacturing, negotiating pricing, finding and obtaining the goods that you are going to sell, and more. Supply chain management also includes the management of supply and demand, third-party negotiation and collaboration, cost allocation and control, and distribution.
