De la Logistique au Supply Chain Management Une Nécessité de Transition

Abstract

From Logistics to Supply Chain Management A Necessity of Transition

The objective of this article is to reveal the double aspect of supply chain management, both operational and strategic. Through this research work, we will try to make a general approach aiming at an epistemological anchoring of the concept raised, while trying to highlight its movement in order to demonstrate its foundation and its diversity of origin. We carried out at the end of our theoretical analysis, a general study on the theoretical approach of the management of the supply chain according to the criteria resulting from the characteristics of evolution of this concept, bringing a particular lighting to the latter. In relation to our subject, the contribution of our study lies in the contribution of elements aimed at redirecting the reflection around the SCM, and in highlighting the imminence of the transition from standard logistics to an integrated management of logistics, by integrating information and communication technologies, within a logic of inter-organizational cooperation, based on trust, integrity and commitment.
