What is the difference between logistic and supply chain?

Logistics Management is a small portion of Supply Chain Management that deals with the management of goods in an efficient way. Although, if we talk about Supply Chain Management, it is a broader term which refers to the connection, right from the suppliers to the ultimate consumer.

The following are the major differences between logistics and supply chain management:

1. The flow and storage of goods inside and outside the firm is known as Logistics. The movement and integration of supply chain activities is known as Supply Chain Management.
2. The main aim of Logistics is full customer satisfaction. Conversely, the main aim behind Supply Chain Management is to gain a substantial competitive advantage.
3. There is only one organization involved in Logistics while some organizations are involved in Supply Chain Management.
4. Supply Chain Management is a new concept as compared to Logistics.
5. Logistics is only an activity of Supply Chain Management.

A supply chain is made up of all the activities required to deliver products to the customer, from designing products to receiving orders, procuring material, marketing, manufacturing, logistics, customer service, receive payments etc.

Logistics is about managing the movement of material and products with an organization and outside the organization and it is part of supply chain management. whereas supply chain management is about management of information, cash, resource and product with in the whole the chain of supply from raw material supplier to manufacture to distributor to whole sell till finally the end user.
