What is Logistics and Supply Chain Management (SCM)?
Although sometimes used interchangeably, there are some differences between the two terms.
Logistics is all about the movement of goods from one place to another.

So, we can understand logistics as sub-topic (although a very important one) under SCM.
Another way to understand it is this: Logistics typically refers to activities that occur within the boundaries of a single organization and Supply Chain refers to networks of companies that work together and coordinate their actions to deliver a product to market.
