April, 2015;
Let me introduce myself: I am V’s new Editor in
Chief. Beginning with the April issue, we will
learn from one another what logistics is, and
what it can be, in our always changing new
world.
To start, let me say that I am an enthusiast
university teacher, who’s always aware of the
needs of my students and the evolving measure
of knowledge, the power this can bring to
everyone. Although I didn’t have the facilities to
start this journey; of starting a businesseducational magazine, the director always
believe in my work, and that’s why we (you
readers and me), are finally here, on the way of
learning about this amazing topic. Logistics and
SCM are the hottest areas to be nowadays in
business management, so join us exploring the
routs of this new world.Stay with us, and expect more.

procedures for the efficient and effective transportation and storage
of goods including services, and related information from the point of
origin to the point of consumption for the purpose of conforming to
customer requirements. This definition includes inbound, outbound,
internal, and external movements.” CSCMP, 2013)

SCMdefinition
SCM: Supply Chain Management encompasses the planning and
management of all activities involved in sourcing and procurement,
conversion, and all logistics management activities. Importantly, it
also includes coordination and collaboration with channel partners,
which can be suppliers, intermediaries, third-party service providers,
and customers. In essence, supply chain management integrates
supply and demand management within and across companies.
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. It includes all of the logistics
management activities noted above, as well as manufacturing
operations, and it drives coordination of processes and activities
with and across marketing, sales, product design, finance and
information technology.“ CSCMP, 2013).
