• Logistics is typically considered as a sub set of SCM. In SCM,
five key functions are :

• Procure, Make, Move, store and service. Most view logistics as

the movement of products from point A to point B and all the
activities involved to make this happen ( from carrier selection
to planning to execution ). Logistics is involved at various
stages of a supply chain; from supplier to plants, from plants
to distribution centres, from distributions centres to stores,
from stores to customers, or any of these combinations.

• Logistics is the process of movement of materials and

products into, through and out of a firm.
• Inbound Logistics + Material Management + Physical
Distribution = Logistics.

• I/L = movement of materials received from suppliers.

• M/M = movement of material & components inside a

firm.

• P/D = movement of goods outward from the end of

the assembly line to the customer.
