Abstrakt: In light of dynamic market conditions, exacerbated by the global COVID-19 pandemic, there is a pressing need for businesses to enhance their Supply Chain Management (SCM) strategies. The surge in e-Commerce, technological evolution, disruptions in supply chains, and the imperative for collaborative risk management underscore the critical necessity for innovative and resilient SCM practices, forming the basis for this study. This study explores the integrated concepts of supply chain management (SCM) and logistics, focusing on their symbiotic relationship and impact on logistics performance. Emphasizing the significance of efficient logistics in enhancing customer value and cost-effectiveness, the research investigates the potential benefits derived from lean and agile logistics systems. The study employs a comprehensive approach, integrating lean logistics to optimize material flow and reduce waste and costs, while agile logistics enhances flexibility and responsiveness to dynamic demands. The goal is to develop a robust framework for designing a lean-agile supply chain, ultimately aiming to improve supply chain partnerships and overall logistics performance. The findings of this research contribute valuable insights to logistics companies, guiding them toward more effective supply network management. By understanding and leveraging the synergies between lean and agile logistics within the SCM landscape, organizations can enhance their logistics performance and adapt to the evolving demands of the market. This research adds to the existing body of knowledge by elucidating the integrated dynamics of SCM and logistics, specifically emphasizing the coalescence of lean and agile logistics systems. The proposed framework provides a practical guide for logistics companies seeking to optimize their supply networks and improve overall logistics performance. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
