In today’s highly competitive and global marketplace, the pressure on organisations to find new ways to create and deliver value to customers is increasing. In the last two decades, logistics and supply chain management has moved to the centre stage to become a key determinant of business competitiveness.
Logistics is a term widely used in business for a range of activities associated with the efficient and effective flow and storage of goods, services and related information from the point of origin to the point of consumption in response to consumer requirements.
Management of these activities has been revolutionised over the past twenty years by addressing logistical issues through an extended perspective of the supply chain that incorporates concepts from several management disciplines, including strategy formation and the theory of the firm; logistics and manufacturing management; management accounting; marketing; and operations research.
Management of the supply chain, therefore, requires cross-functional understanding and sound technical and managerial skills that are becoming more and more important with the inevitable challenges brought about by consumer demand for greater choice and improved value, the globalisation of operations, intensified competition, environmental issues and increasingly turbulent and expanding markets
