Logistics V/s SCM

given task of movement and storage of goods,
– the physical scope of SCM is enlarged to look at
the entire gamut of activities from the vendor to
the customer.
• Supply Chain perspective emphasizes the
stream of activities from raw material to
consumption or
– at least from vendor to customer, since those two
interfaces are within a firm’s scope of influence.
