一些基本概念
logistics - - - " 1) In an industrial context, the art and science of obtaining, producing, and distributing material and product in the proper place and in proper quantities. 2) In a military sense (where it has greater usage), its meaning can also include the movement of personnel "
其次，物流概念里强调了对象是过程中的物料和产品（ material and product）。过程是哪些过程呢？采购，生产和分销（obtaining, producing, and distributing）。有哪些要求呢？合适的地点和数量（proper place and in proper quantitites）。仓储在这里可以放到分销里面。
Supply Chain - - " The global network used to deliver products and services from raw materials to end customers through an engineered flow of information, physical distribution, and cash"
供应链的定义要注意三点。第一，对象是产品和服务（products and services）；第二，过程包括了从原材料到最终客户（from raw materials to end customers）；第三，方式包括了信息流，实物流动以及财务流。
To simplify , logistics is looking at one particular company while supply chain is referred in broader terms , from the supplier till end-customers
Logistics = Materials Management + Distribution
Supply Chain = Suppliers + Logistics + Customers
