In the business world, the practice of using similar terminology seems to work, although it can sometimes be a little confusing.
Many people use the terms purchasing and procurement interchangeably, but despite their apparent similarities they do have different meanings.
This webinar aims to clarify any confusion between these two related, yet different, business cousins and put them into the supply chain context. The webinar will also help you look at the supply chain as a strategic management function that exists to add to the competitive advantage of your business.

6. Definition Of 'Supply Chain'
• The network created amongst different companies
producing, handling and/or distributing a specific
product. Specifically, the supply chain encompasses
the steps it takes to get a good or service from the
supplier to the customer. Supply chain management
is a crucial process for many companies, and many
companies strive to have the most optimized supply
chain because it usually translates to lower costs for
the company. Quite often, many people confuse the
term logistics with supply chain. In general, logistics
refers to the distribution process within the company
whereas the supply chain includes multiple
companies such as suppliers, manufacturers, and the
retailers.
