Definition
“It’s not the organizations that are competing, it’s the supply chain that are competing.” ~ Wael Safwat Logistics is about getting the right product, to the right customer, in the right quantity, in the right condition, at the right place, at the right time, and at the right cost. Supply Chain Management (SCM), the management of the flow of goods and services, involves the movement and storage of raw materials, of work-in-process inventory, and of finished goods from point of origin to point of consumption.Career Path
