Within the organisation, the supply chain refers to a wide range of functional areas. These include Supply Chain Management-related activities such as inbound and outbound transportation, warehousing, and inventory control. Sourcing, procurement, and supply management fall under the supply-chain umbrella, too. Forecasting, production planning and scheduling, order processing, and customer service all are part of the process as well. Importantly, it also embodies the information systems so necessary to monitor all of these activities. Simply stated, "The supply chain encompasses all of those activities associated with moving goods from the raw-materials stage through to the end user." Advocates for this business process realised that significant productivity increases could only come from managing relationships, information, and material flow across enterprise borders. The delivery of enhanced customer and economic value through synchronised management of the flow of physical goods and associated information from sourcing to consumption. "As the "from sourcing to consumption" part of our last definition suggests, though, achieving the real potential of supply-chain management requires integration--not only of these entities within the organisation, but also of the external partners. A supply chain is involved in processing or using these materials or even providing services to customers using these materials. Professionals in these fields also work with processes and increasing inefficiencies with processes. Operations and supply chain professionals have a place in all of these environments.

Logistics management is that part of supply chain management that plans, implements, and controls the efficient, effective forward and reverse flow and storage of goods, services and related information between the point of origin and the point of consumption to meet customers' requirements. Logistics management activities typically include inbound and outbound transportation management, fleet management, warehousing, materials handling, order fulfilment, logistics network design, inventory management, supply/demand planning, and management of third-party logistics services providers. To varying degrees, the logistics function also includes sourcing and procurement, production planning and scheduling, packaging and assembly, and customer service. It is involved in all levels of planning and execution--strategic, operational and tactical. Logistics management is an integrating function, which coordinates and optimises all logistics activities, as well as integrates logistics activities with other functions including marketing, sales manufacturing, finance, and information technology.
