On the contrary, if logistics is not key to an organization's competitiveness, then you can afford to take a-wait-and-see stance. 'There Is No Middle Ground.' RFID is just one component of the latest generation of wireless supply-chain technologies -- Wi-Fi networking, PDAs, cell phones, global positioning systems and

Logistics, Inventory Control, and Supply Chain Management

Many argue that the focus point (and perhaps the linchpin) of successful supply chain management is inventories and inventory control.
