Logistics is also responsible for such a function.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">What do we mean by the term <strong>Supply Chain Management<\/strong>?<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">As <strong>Supply Chain Management<\/strong> or <strong>Logistics<\/strong> is defined the operation of the enterprise, engaged in all activities relating to the <strong>design<\/strong>, <strong>implementation<\/strong> and <strong>control<\/strong> of the efficient financial flow and storage of raw materials, inventory of processes, final products and all the related information.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Logistics may not be such a popular sector as others, but has recently come\u00a0dynamically at the forefront of <strong>greek entrepreneurship<\/strong>, and\u00a0according to the speakers at the last <strong>Hellenic-German Chamber of Commerce&#8217;s<\/strong> event, Logistics is just as profitable as the tourism industry!<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">In Greece, the Logistics\u00a0 sector has large profit margins due to the development of new infrastructures in <strong>ports<\/strong> and <strong>airports<\/strong> as well as the gradual integration of large<strong> road axes<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Why is supply chain management in an enterprise so important?<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">In order a business to function properly must have a <strong>smooth flow<\/strong> in all its <strong>functions<\/strong> as well as in its <strong>production process<\/strong>. Proper and sophisticated use of management systems in the internal organization of sales and ordering, transport, storage and stock management of a business or organization is considered to be extremely <strong>necessary<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">So, it is no coincidence, that almost every day we talk about a\u00a0<strong>better<\/strong> and more <strong>efficient<\/strong> operation of the supply chain at both <strong>national<\/strong> and <strong>incorporate<\/strong> level. Supply chain management can greatly reduce the <strong>costs<\/strong> of a business and thus bring more <strong>profits<\/strong> to it, in an environment that due to financial instability even a small mistake, acts catastrophically.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Because of the great importance of <strong>Logistics<\/strong> for a business or organization, there are other\u00a0companies (third parties) that provide services such as storage of<strong> raw materials<\/strong>, <strong>transportation<\/strong>, <strong>distribution<\/strong>, etc. In this way, are achieved\u00a0reliable <strong>results<\/strong> and <strong>costs<\/strong> are further reduced.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">An important point at\u00a0these services is the <strong>telecommunication<\/strong> and <strong>data management<\/strong> service that has been added to the other traditional services. Some of these\u00a0modern services are the <strong>monitoring of online orders<\/strong>, electronic receipt of or non-receipt of products, customer service centers by <strong>telephone<\/strong> or via <strong>internet<\/strong> and personalized services designed to meet the particular needs of each business \/ organization.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Supply chain is a very important aid for any small or large business as it can increase profitability and productivity, and also minimize the margin of error while giving a competitive advantage.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: right;\">P.G.A. &amp; E.L.<\/p>\n<p>[:]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp; How important is the Supply Chain Management for a business? &nbsp; &nbsp; The world of businesses and organizations may be going through a time when the changes are rapid and continuous, but some of its functions, which existed and will continue to exist, should not be stagnant as they also need more effective management.
