This thesis is an analysis of the crucial role that logistics and supply chains in general play in today's complex business reality. The purpose of this study is to provide a detailed and in-depth insight into the importance of the role that supply chains are called upon to shoulder by the ever-increasing in intensity and accelerating in terms of time, advent of globalized markets. Within this framework, an extensive, qualitative, historical and qualitative bibliographical account is given of the path that supply chains and logistics have taken up to the present day, viewed in a bi-historical perspective. Particular attention is paid to the definitions and clarification of terms, while approaching the conceptual differences between logistics and supply chains with rigour and thoroughness. Strategic subsets of a supply chain are treated, such as the last mile and its optimization, the competitive advantage that can be achieved from proper logistics management, inventory management, safer demand forecasting, the importance of proper and efficient warehouse and transport operations, while particular attention is given to the digital transformation of supply chains. The methodology followed in this thesis is that of literature review. The findings from the literature review are synthesized and critically reviewed and then clearly attributed in this thesis. This study is interspersed with a case study of an existing distribution network whose operation is twofold. On the one hand, to carry out correctly, efficiently and effectively most of the processes related to the logistics sector, and on the other hand, to satisfy all the parties involved (nodes) that exist and operate in the specific supply chain, of which the company under study is a part.
