Problem
As a recent college graduate, you are hired by an organization as a consultant to help them understand how to increase product sales and profitability. The company headquarters and warehouses are located in Irvine, California as a reference point.
In your first meeting with the company, you quickly realize that the leaders and managers in the company are confused about supply chain management versus logistics.
How would you explain supply chain management to the leadership and management team?
In your explanation to the leadership and management, discuss how supply chain management differs from logistics.
The company has asked for you to provide consulting on three current trends emerging in supply chain management in the next year. Using a minimum of two peer-reviewed or scholarly articles through the Library, locate three key supply chain management and logistics trends within the industry to advise your organization on (make sure you properly identify, cite, and reference those resources). Ensure that you conduct research to support your findings, and share your articles, videos, or other sources as part of your discussion posting.
