Overview
Supply chain management(SCM) is process from supplier to manufacturer to wholesaler to retailer
to consumer. There are three major goals of SCM:
to reduce inventory
to increase the speed of transactions with real-time data exchange
to increase revenue by satisfying customer demands more efficiently

Logistics management is that part of the SCM which plans, implements and controls the
transportation and storage of goods, services and related information between the point of origin
and the point of consumption in order to meet customer and legal requirements

Warehouse Cycle
There are two major functions in the Warehousing Process:
1. Receiving goods from the manufacturer to the warehouse.
2. Transferring goods from the warehouse to the retailer.

The process is very simple; the public warehouse works as a "middle man" in the logistics process.
The manufacturer produces product and ships the product to the public warehouse. The public
warehouse stores the product until the manufacturer requests that they ship the product to another
company (usually to a retailer).
