Introduction to Logistics and Supply Chain Management
The term “Logistics and Supply Chain Management” has been in existence for centuries. These terms are used interchangeably these days, but there is a subtle difference that exists between the two. ‘Logistics’ has a military origin, and used to be associated with the movement of troops and their supplies in the battlefield. But like so many other technologies and terminologies, it entered into the business lexicon gradually and has now become synonymous with the set of activities ranging from procurement of raw materials, to the delivery of the final polished good to the end consumer.

In a typical business scenario, many organizations work in tandem (knowingly or unknowingly) to get the final product in hand of the end consumer. The supply chain is a network of these organizations that coalesce with each other (downstream or upstream) to make the final shipment successful. Logistics is generally seen as a differentiator in terms of the final bottom line of a typical “hard and tangible goods” organization; enabling either a lower cost or providing higher value.

While a lower cost is mostly a one-time feel good factor and has been the traditional focus area in logistics, high value comes into the picture much later and may be tangible or intangible in a good’s initial stages. Logistics is concerned with both materials flow and information flow. While the materials flow from the supplier to consumer, the information flows the other way round. It is not only concerned with inventory and resource utilization, customer response also falls under the ambit of logistics. In simple terms, logistics can be seen as a link between the manufacturing and marketing operations of a company. The traditional organizations used to think of them separately, but there is a definite value addition in integrating the two due to the interdependence and feedback channel between the two.The level of coordination required to minimize the overall cost for the end consumer gets tougher to achieve as the number of participants in a supply chain increase, as an extremely efficient flow of material and information is required for optimization.

Basic concepts of Logistics and SCM
 Inventory Planning
Organizations want to minimize the inventory levels due to its almost linear relationship with the cost. Yet if the demand is forecasted accurately, there would ideally be no need for inventory and the goods will move seamlessly from warehouses to customers.
Transportation
The kind of transportation employed by an organization is a strategic decision based on the required level of risk exposure, customer service profiles, geographic area covered etc. Truck shipments take more time for delivery compared to air transport (customers with relaxed turnaround times); is cheaper but necessitates maintenance of higher inventory levels.
Packaging
The end goals differ: can either be done for end consumers or for logistical considerations. The packaging will then depend on the end goal; form factor plays the lead role when packaging goods for the end consumers, while function plays the lead role in packaging for logistical operations.
Warehousing
It is the back-end building for storing goods. Based on the needs of the organization, it can be in-house or outsourced.
