Abstract or Introduction

When logistics is debated in general public, people mostly consider trucks, truck-drivers and
noise. These aspects certainly belong to the broad business area related to logistics and
nowadays Supply Chain Management (SCM). However it is easy to say that logistics and
SCM contain a lot more than this.
Critically evaluating the development of SCM over the last 30 years is the purpose of this
essay. Doing so it is meant to involve a description of the development from physical
distribution, via logistics to SCM, a confrontation of logistics and SCM and an explanation
why supply chain managers are now part of the senior management group.
