Logistics & Supply Chain Management can be defined as the process of accumulating raw material and delivering final products to market.  Logistics is further divided into two categories– Inbound Logistics and Outbound Logistics. Movement of raw material and goods from suppliers to a company is known as Inbound logistics and movement of final goods from a company to market/customers is known as outbound logistics.

There are a several opportunities that you will come across, especially in the field of planning and policymaking, motivation, evaluation, product development and inventory control. The size of the company would also determine the opportunities that you can avail for learning more about this field. If the company is quite large then you get to focus on overall management of the company and if it is not then you would get to focus on the specific areas of the supply chain department. There are multiple supply chain specialists who are engaged in functions such as product development, forecasting and strategic planning. MBA graduates, in general, start as general operations manager and can reach as high as becoming the vice president of operations department in an organisation.



All the best!
