According to CSCMP's definition of Supply Chain Management (SCM), SCM includes planning and management of all activities regarding sourcing, procurement, manufacturing, and all logistics management activities. In particular, it includes mediation and cooperation of suppliers, wholesalers and retailers, third party logistics companies, and customers as partners in the channel. In its essence, SCM is an integration of supply and demand management inside and outside of businesses. SCM is an encompassing function that links key work processes inside and outside of businesses through a highly cohesive and highly efficient work model. So the scope of SCM goes beyond all things related to logistics management activities. It includes manufacturing management, and leads mediation of processes and activities on marketing, sales, product design, finance, IT. CSCMP has given a new definition on logistics management. It states that logistics management is a part of SCM, and refers to efficiently and effectively planning, implementing and controlling logistics and reverse logistics, product keeping, services and related information. Logistics management would typically include forwarding, transportation management, vehicle management, warehouse, raw material handling, order execution, logistics network design, inventory management, supply and demand planning, and third party logistics company management. Logistics also include sourcing, procurement, production plan and schedule, packing and assembly, and customer service. It includes all stages of strategic, operational, tactical planning and execution. So logistics management not only includes all logistics activities, but is an integrating process in which various aspects including marketing, sales, manufacturing, finance, IT are mediated and optimized.
