Abstract: The aim of this paper is to analyze evolutionary, managerial and conceptual dimensions of logistics and supply chain. First, the impact of certain events on the evolution of logistics and supply chain and an increase in their importance for the competitiveness of businesses is presented. The paper then explains the importance of supply chain management in integrating core business functions of different companies into a single highperformance operating system. Also, we evaluate the role of traditional logistics, lean logistics, lean manufacturing and informational technologies in efficient and effective conversion of partners’ resources in a supply chain. Finally, we assess the business implications of the four conceptual perspectives of the relationship between logistics and supply chain management.
Keywords: logistics; supply chain; traditional logistics; lean production; lean logistics; conceptual perspectives
