logistics

Supply chain management (SCM) is one of the key drivers in today's business world with offshore sourcing, foreign competition and global markets.

The joke about the fellow whose wife bought him two ties, and when he came down the stairs wearing one of them got caught with the question, "What's the matter - don't you like the other one?" rings familiar.
