Emphasis is given to the study of the impact that the supply chain management framework, (that includes distribution, procurement, inventory, transportation and information technology components) has on business and the economy. The decision making process within supply chain is of particular importance as the interrelationships (cost and service trade-offs) between logistics and other areas of business will be covered. The overall focus is the strategic and financial significance the supply chain has on the firm's ability to add customer value.
