Logistics and Supply Chain Management (SCM) are key aspects of the business world and also the not-for-profit and public sectors. While the origins of much logistics thinking and practice are in a manufacturing context, we are now witnessing increased and highly successful application of logistics and SCM principles in services contexts too. Witness the efficiencies which have been driven into banking and hospitals, where the emphasis has shifted to serving more customers, better, faster, and cheaper.
Global Logistics and Supply Chain Management is essential reading for students studying supply chain management and logistics. Encompassing both practical and strategic perspectives, it also takes a truly global perspective, recognising the transnational nature of logistics activities in today’s world.
