When CEOs think about the supply chain, it's usually to cut costs. But the smartest leaders see supply chain and sourcing for what they can be: hidden tools for outperforming the competition. Steve Jobs, upon returning to Apple in 1997, focused on transforming the supply chain. He hired Tim Cook - and the company sped up the development of new products, getting them into consumers' hands faster. The rest is history.

Logistics is a part of the supply chain management that strategies, executes, and manages the storage and flow of products and goods between two points. The first point is the origin of the goods or the place of storage/production and the end point is the place where the products or goods are going to be consumed according to the demands of the customers in that specific area.

We are pleased you have selected a program to make your credit work with a global supply chain. The global marketplace has become so popular because it has allowed businesses to compete internationally.
Publisher's Summary
Supply chain competence affects your bottom-line in more direct ways than you might realize. In this book we reviewed the role of controlling cost of sales through supply chain competencies and its effect on the corporate financial statements.The balancing act of maintaining a high level of service and low costs is becoming harder for supply chain managers as businesses try to meet the growing customer mantra of "more for less". This pressure comes at a time when business is becoming more global, supply chains are lengthening, and competition is on the rise. Although this challenge is not new, the outlook is that it will intensify as a number of factors; economic, regulatory, and market-driven become more acute. Consequently, supply chain performance will have increasingly significant impact on overall business success.
