Notes

  1. 1.

    Our definition largely corresponds with that of the Council of Supply Chain Management Professionals (CSMP) stating that “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” (The Council of Supply Chain Management Professionals 2013, p. 187).

  2. 2.

    A definition of Supply Chain Management which is very close to the mission of logistics is proposed by Simchi-Levi et al.: “Supply Chain Management is a set of approaches utilized to efficiently integrate suppliers, manufacturers, warehouses, and stores, so that merchandise is produced and distributed at the right quantities, to the right locations, and at the right time, in order to minimize systemwide costs while satisfying service level requirements” (Simchi-Levi et al. 2008, p. 1).
