Global Logistics and Supply Chain Management (4th Edition) – eBook

Logistics and Supply Chain Management (SCM) are the study areas that help us explore and answer these questions. Today, they play a vital role in underpinning the success of many organizations across the public and private sectors and impact how we live our lives. While the origins of logistics and SCM are firmly embedded in the manufacturing domain, the successful applications of logistics and SCM principles and practices are becoming increasingly relevant in the services area also – see, for example, the many changes that have recently been driven into healthcare systems and airlines.
