The advent of globalisation has increased complexity
for organisations, extending supply chains across large geographical areas,
making them longer and more difficult to manage than ever before. Megatrends
such as global economic shifts, increased consumer awareness, the rise in
information technology, global pandemic outbreaks and climate change highlight
a range of new challenges facing business. Strategic
logistics management takes a systematic approach to managing the entire
flow of materials, information, services and finance from raw material
suppliers through manufacturing and warehousing, to the end user.
Strategic
logistics management covers the operational and strategic
aspects of all the components of business logistics from a supply chain
management perspective. It focuses on the integration of all business processes
that add value to the customer. Terminology is clearly explained, and the main
points are illustrated with practical examples.
Contents include the following:
· Customer service
· Demand and order management
· The supply management process
· Inventory management
· Transport management
· Warehouse management
· Reverse logistics
· Contract logistics
