1. How does Supply Chain Management (SCM) work with your employer? How does SCM work in your
life?
I work for the Ohio Army National Guard an example of SCM would be ordering a Soldiers gear for the
field. First the Soldier sits down and gives me all his or her size information. Then I input an order
through a system of record. At that time the product is requested from the issuing facility, if the facility
does not have that size or item, they will request it for another distribution point. After the order if filled
either with partial gear or full I go to the facility to pick it up and bring it back to the armory for issue to
the Soldier.
I use SCM in my life by capturing a need or want and figuring out the best/fastest/cheapest/most
efficient way to get that product.
2. What is it important to study Supply Chain Management?
It is important to study SCM because, it is also used to reduce cost, improve services, increase cash
flow/net value, and improve the quality of the products being sold. Without this knowledge we wouldn’t
have companies like Wal-Mart, or Amazon, who have changed the way SCM and logistics are valued
today.
3. Why is SCM important for retail business?
Supply chain management in retail businesses allows the business to tailor their day to day activities to
the customer. This is important because it gives the company an advantage to meet the needs of the
customer to keep them satisfied whether, it be through low prices, speedy delivery, or product
availability. Supply chain management is the most essential operation in retail business.
