Supply chain

What does supply chain mean?

As indicated on Wikipedia (and as reported below from the same source): Supply Chain means a supply chain, i.e. a complex logistical system made up of structures that convert raw materials into finished products and distribute them to final consumers (B2C) or to end customers (B2B).

Meanwhile, Supply Chain Management deals with the flow of goods within the supply chain in the most efficient way.

In sophisticated supply chain systems, used products can re-enter the supply chain at any point where the residual value is recyclable.

Supply chains connect value chains.

Suppliers in a supply chain are often classified by “tier”, with first-tier suppliers supplying directly to the customer, second-tier suppliers supplying to the first tier, and so on.

The phrase “Supply Chain” may have first appeared in a 1905 article in The Independent which briefly mentions the difficulty of “keeping an unbroken chain of supply with India” during the British expedition to Tibet.

The distribution chain therefore does not only concern the internal organization of the company, but also the coordination with suppliers and sub-contractors.

Fulfillment

What does Fulfillment mean?

As indicated by Wikipedia (and as we report below thanks to the same source): fulfillment Fulfillment house and Fulfillment Center (in British English: Fulfillment House and Fulfillment Center ) are modern terms to indicate a packaging warehouse . The terms were coined in the mid-1990s: “fulfillment center” usually refers to an in-house packaging warehouse, while “fulfillment house” tends to be used for companies that specialize in contract warehousing and packaging.

Origin of the term

The use of the word “fulfilment” in relation to freight shipments derives from the terms “order fulfillment” and “product fulfillment”, introduced by business management researchers analyzing supply chains in the late 1980s. This concept was soon picked up by public relations people working for packing warehouse companies, who felt that “distribution center” or “distribution house” sounded more positive and active than the old term “warehouse.” The terms are still so new and unknown outside that industry that “warehouse” is often added in parentheses or used as an alternative word in the same text, to explain to laypeople what “fulfillment center” or “fulfillment center” actually is. house of fulfillment”.

ESL ( www.eshoplogistic.com ) offers Fulfillment Italy and Fulfillment Europe services of great quality and success.

External or internal

Some companies, like Amazon, have their own fulfillment centers , while many smaller e-commerce companies outsource warehousing , picking, packing, and shipping tasks to outside logistics companies . These external fulfillment companies are known as third-party logistics providers (3PLs). Many larger companies with their own fulfillment centers also handle warehousing and shipping for other sellers. Amazon itself is an example of this, offering to handle warehousing and order fulfillment for third-party sellers.

Another very early example was Fingerhut, which expanded its fulfillment center in the 1990s to take on logistics services for other companies, including the company that eventually acquired Fingerhut: Federated Department Stores.[

Full Outsourcing

What does Full Outsourcing mean?

The term outsourcing indicates the outsourcing of some parts of the production process or support or sales processes.
Following the design and management phases of an e -commerce requires time and specific knowledge. In some cases, starting full outsourcing management can therefore prove very effective for a client .

The full outsourcing solution consists in entrusting the management of many or all operations to an external company .
