Discussion Question: Definition of the Supply Chain versus Logistics

What might the term "Supply Chain" cover that is not included under the term "Logistics."

To be considered substantive, your reply should add significantly to the discussion by building on others' comments, pointing out similarities or differences in your backgrounds or course expectations, etc.  One or two sentence responses such as "Hi, welcome to the course!" or "I feel the same way" are not acceptable.
