Can you explain the difference between supply chain management and logistics management?
- Supply chain management is usually restricted to the management of the raw materials and supplies that a firm needs (ie.: inputs). Logistics looks at the whole physical distribution system, both supplies (inputs) and product distribution (ie.: outputs). It gets confusing because some software manufacturers/marketers do not follow this textbook definition very closely in their documentation and advertising. mydogategodshat 08:42, 17 Feb 2004 (UTC)
