For many years, procurement, materials management and logistics
were regarded as the responsibility of either operations or
marketing departments. The late 1980s saw the shift in focus to
supply management, and later to supply chain management. Since the
early 1990s, the field has become increasingly important to firms
as the marketplace has become more and more competitive. Strategic
logistics management takes a systematic approach to managing the
entire flow of materials, information, services and finance from
raw materials suppliers through factories and warehousing, to the
end user. Strategic logistics management covers the operational and
strategic aspects of all the components of logistics from a supply
chain management perspective. It focuses on the integration of all
business processes that add value to the customer. The book has
been divided into five sections for easy access, with the final one
focusing on case studies. Terminology is clearly explained and the
main points are illustrated with many practical examples. A new
chapter on humanitarian logistics has been provided. Strategic
logistics management is aimed at undergraduate studies as well as
graduate programmes. It is the only case study-based South African
textbook in this field.
