DEFINITION OF SUPPLY CHAIN
MANAGEMENT
Supply Chain Management (SCM) is defined as a
network of facilities that performs the functions of
procurement of materials into intermediate and
finished products, and distribution of these products
to customers.
A similar definition has been given by
Bhaskaran and Leung who describe the
manufacturing supply chain as an integrative
approach used to manage the inter-related
flows of products and information among
suppliers, manufacturers, distributors,
retailers, and customers.
What is a Supply Chain?
Every company is involved in one or more Supply Chains
A supply chain can be defined as “the sequence of
suppliers that contribute to the creation and delivery of a
good or service to end customers. This encompasses
virtually all aspects of a business—sales processing,
production, inventory management, material supply,
distribution, procurement, forecasting, and customer
service, and several other areas…”
