Abstract

The title "Supply Chain Management and Logistics Optimization" highlights the critical intersection of supply chain operations and logistics strategies. This paper delves into the intricate relationship between effective supply chain management (SCM) and logistics optimization, examining how the integration of these two disciplines can enhance overall business efficiency. The study explores various methodologies and tools used in SCM, including demand forecasting, inventory control, and transportation management. Furthermore, it investigates the role of logistics optimization in reducing costs, improving service levels, and minimizing lead times. The paper presents case studies that illustrate the practical application of these strategies in real-world scenarios. By synthesizing theoretical frameworks and empirical evidence, the analysis reveals the potential benefits and challenges of implementing optimized logistics within supply chain structures. The implications for businesses seeking to improve their competitive advantage through efficient and responsive supply chain operations are discussed.
