performance measures to gauge collective success in reaching the end-user effectively and efficiently. The Difference Between Supply Chain And Logistics? • The primary difference between logistics and supply chain is the fact that logistics is simply a specialized part of the entire supply chain process. • Logistics is the connection from one node or point to another; supply chain is a series of sequential nodes or points connected to one another. Logistics focuses on transporting goods while supply chain focuses on finished product and/or customers. • Supply chain comprises all aspects of a product cycle from origin to end user, for example from farm to fork. Logistics relates to one component of supply chain, addressing efficient product movement, such as from manufacturer to retail store. • The difference between logistics vs supply chain management (SCM) includes the former as a subset of the latter and respective roles representing the activities involved in moving goods from one point to another versus the umbrella term encompassing business philosophy and all SCM processes.
