Supply chains are the integrated and co-ordinated flows of goods from source to destination, as well as the information and money flows associated with it. Supply chain management aims at maximising the value contribution to the customer while simultaneously optimising infrastructural and operational costs of the supply chains. Logistics and supply chain management are closely related concepts which have been integrated and developed as a proven business strategy to meet the increasing demands for quality, delivery and speed. Supply chain management consists of firms collaborating to leverage strategic positioning and to improve operating efficiency. In contrast, logistics is the activity required to move and position inventory throughout a supply chain. As such, logistics is a subset of supply chain management and occurs within the broader framework of a supply chain. Logistics and supply chain management are necessary cornerstones of competitive strategy, increased market share and shareholder value for most organisations in the 21st century. Managing supply chains beyond company boundaries is increasingly generating competitive advantage in many industries. Co-ordinating the production systems of suppliers and customers is the key to meeting todays evolving customer demands-demands which focus not just on product quality but also on speed, delivery reliability and service level. This book is written as comprehensively as possible and organised into 21 chapters dealing with major aspects of logistics management as well as supply chain management.
