According to the Council of Supply Chain Management Professionals (CSCMP), logistics management can be defined as “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.” Logistics management typically includes inbound and outbound transportation management, fleet management, warehousing, materials handling, order fulfillment, network design, inventory management, supply/demand planning, and management of third-party services providers. To varying degrees, logistics also includes sourcing and procurement, production planning and scheduling, packaging and assembly, and customer service.
The CSCMP defines supply chain management as the planning and management of all activities involved in sourcing and procurement, conversion, and all logistics management activities. Importantly, it also includes coordination and collaboration with channel partners, which can be suppliers, intermediaries, third-party service providers, and customers. In essence, supply chain management integrates supply and demand management within and across companies. It includes all of the logistics management activities noted above, as well as manufacturing operations, and it drives coordination of processes and activities with and across marketing, sales, product design, finance, and information technology.
Logistics involves planning, implementing, and controlling of efficient and effective forward and reverse flow. Logistics also involves storing of goods from the source of production to the destination of consumption to fulfill consumers’ requirements. The popular concept of seven Rs in logistics refers to getting the right product in the right quantity in the right condition at the right place at the right time to the right recipient at the right price.
