April, 2015;
Let me introduce myself: I am Vs new
Editor in Chief. Beginning with the April
issue, we will learn from one another
what logistics is, and what it can be, in
our always changing new world.
To start, let me say that I am an
enthusiast university teacher, whos
always aware of the needs of my
students and the evolving measure of
knowledge, the power this can bring to
everyone. Although I didnt have the
facilities to start this journey; of
starting a business
educational
magazine, the director always believe
in my work, and thats why we (you
readers and me), are finally here, on
the way of learning about this amazing
topic. Logistics and SCM are the hottest
areas to be nowadays in business
management, so join us exploring the
routs of this new world.
Stay with us, and expect more.

Logistics definition
Logistics: The process of planning, implementing,
and controlling procedures for the efficient and
effective transportation and storage of goods
including services, and related information from the
point of origin to the point of consumption for the
purpose of conforming to customer requirements.
This definition includes inbound, outbound, internal,
and external movements. (CSCMP, 2013)

SCM definition
SCM: "Supply Chain Management encompasses the
planning and management of all activities involved
in sourcing and procurement, conversion, and all
logistics management activities. Importantly, it also
includes coordination and collaboration with
channel
partners,
which
can
be
suppliers,
intermediaries, third-party service providers, and
customers. In essence, supply chain management
integrates supply and demand management within
and across companies. Supply Chain Management is
an integrating function with primary responsibility
for linking major business functions and business
processes within and across companies into a
cohesive and high-performing business model. It
includes all of the logistics management activities
noted above, as well as manufacturing operations,
and it drives coordination of processes and
activities with and across marketing, sales, product
design,
finance
and
information
