There has been consensus operation management of that logistics as well as supply chain management is a vital research field, yet with few literature reviews on this topic. This paper sets out to propose some hot issues in the current research, through a review of related literature from the perspective of operations management. In addition, we generate some insights and future research. In this paper, we elaborate how the organizational design of the LSM function relates to Operations management opportunities in order to increase efficiency
