Hi Shobha,
Logistics Management is a small portion of Supply Chain Management that deals with management of goods in an efficient way. Although, if we talk about Supply Chain Management, it is a broader term which refers to the connection, right from the suppliers to the ultimate consumer. People are quite puzzled between these two concepts.
Logistics Management- The process of integrating the movement and maintenance of goods in and out the organization is Logistics.
Supply Chain Management- The coordination and management of the supply chain activities are known as Supply Chain Management.

Hi Mohit,
Most companies prefer logistic managers have at least a bachelor's degree, in either fields of business, industrial engineering, or supply chain management.
One of the most common entry-level positions in this field is customer service management. Customer service is an important part of logistics and supply chain management on an individual level, since listening to and helping your consumers is the backbone of any business. You can also work managing product inventory for a business, planning and overseeing product transportation needs, and managing supplies needed for manufacturing.
The logistician is in charge from the very beginning of product acquisition to the very end of secure delivery. Similarly, a supply chain manager examines procedures for opportunities to streamline existing conditions. Overall, both positions direct the movement, storage, and processing of inventory. For those who attain more experience, upper management positions such as presidents and vice presidents are highly sought after.
