Supply chain management is an interdisciplinary field that emphasizes cross-functional links and seeks to manage those links to enhance a

company’s competitive advantage. It involves forecasting, resource allocation, production planning, flow and process management, inventory management, customer delivery, after-sales support and service, and a host of other activities and processes.

An increasing number of companies rely on supply chain management as a key competitive weapon. An understanding of supply chain management is also an asset to any manager concerned about adding value to the business. With increased globalization and offshore outsourcing, supply chain management is becoming an important issue for many businesses.

The area of SCM has emerged as organizations recognize that strategic advantage and improved long-term performance results not only from the management of within-organization activities, but from the coordination and management of between-organization activities. Supply Chain Management is defined as the integration of key business processes from end-user through original suppliers that provides products, services, and information that add value for customers and stakeholders. SCM begins with corporate strategy and connects the operational aspects of the business to that strategy. The key business processes include plan, acquire, make, deliver, product design/redesign, capacity management, process design/redesign, and measurement.
