Course overview
 
One of the ways in which companies can build market share and increase return on investment is through the use of logistics to add value. Logistics can, in fact, be used to differentiate products and effectively lower the cost of doing business. An interesting twist to this new emphasis on the value-adding role of logistics is that the focus is on the supply chain. Thus, there is recognition that companies are usually part of a ‘pipeline’ or supply chain that brings products to the ultimate user. In its simplest context, the supply chain involves a company’s vendors and direct customers. Logistics plays an integral role in the supply chain.
