Usually, some confusion occurs when describing the term ‘supply chain management’ and this is because some of the terms used in supply chain management overlap in the sense that they refer to common parts of the total supply network. For example,
Purchasing and supply management
Physical distribution management
Logistics
Third-party logistics (TPL)
Materials management
Discuss ONE of the above terms and explain its function. [You may also complete this discussion based on how the selected function is managed within your workplace].
