In 1982, Keith Oliver, a consultant at Booz Allen Hamilton (now Strategy&), coined the term “supply chain management” in an interview with the Financial Times. The word took some time to catch on. It acquired popularity in the mid-1990s when a rush of articles and books on the subject were published. It gained popularity as a management buzzword in the late 1990s, and operations managers began to use it in their titles with increasing frequency.
The term logistics is said to have originated in the late nineteenth century from the French word “Logistique” (meaning TO LODGE), which first appeared in the book “The Art of War” by Baron Henri, a general in the French army during Napoleon’s reign.
The United Nations is the world’s platform to build understanding between nations, find ways to cooperate, and launch coordinated action on problems that transcend borders, from terrorism to climate change to pandemics.
