SCM & Logistics: What's the Difference?

Over the years, Logistics seemed to have evolved to Supply Chain Management (SCM). As Logistics functions became more and more important to an enterprise -- that's where the dollars were being spent -- enterprises placed a lot of focus on it, to bring down costs and implement efficiencies and controls. The evolution from Logistics to Supply Chain Management is the natural move from managing down one constraint and moving on to another. After the Logistics hurdle was overcome, enterprises moved to their purchasing and distribution functions. This article from Inbound Logistics magazine, explores these topics and tries to make sense of Logistics, SCM and where it's all going next.
