Explanation:

Supply chain management can be defined as the effective and efficient management of the flow of goods and services as well as all of the production processes involved in the transformation of raw materials into finished products that meet the insatiable want and need of the consumers.

Generally, the supply chain management involves all the activities associated with planning, execution and supply of finished goods and services to the consumers.

Some of the service providers in the supply and logistics chain management are;

1. Common (public) carrier: a transportation service provider that handles shipments on a case-by-case basis i.e based on the type of shipment, without entering into long-term agreements or contracts.

2. Third-party logistic provider (3PL): a service firm that is saddled with the responsibility of handling all of the logistics requirements for other companies.

3. Contract carriers: a transportation service provider that handles shipments for other firms based on long-term agreements or contracts. It is simply the opposite of common (public) carriers. Shipments from different local businesses may be combined by a contract carrier through the use of a consolidation warehouse.

4. Freight forwarder: an agent who serves as an intermediary between an organization shipping a product and the actual carrier, typically on international shipments. Thus, he or she is a middleman between the organization whose product is being shipped and the carrier company, especially for international freights.
