Supply chain management is a broad, integrating process that entails many other aspects aside from logistics. Those aspects include finding and obtaining the goods to sell, negotiating pricing, manufacturing, storage, packaging and inventory control. Supply chain management also includes distribution, cost allocation and control, third-party negotiation and collaboration as well as management of supply and demand. The broad territory covered by supply chain management is why some of these processes have splintered off into another subcategory of supply chain management known as demand planning, which, like logistics, can be viewed as a separate but related area of expertise.
