| | Supply chain management - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | According to the Council of Supply Chain Management Professionals (CSCMP), a professional association that developed a definition in 2004, Supply Chain Management "encompasses the planning and management of all activities involved in sourcing and procurement, conversion, and all logistics management activities. | | | Supply chain management is also a category of software products. | | | Supply chain management spans all movement and storage of raw materials, work-in-process inventory, and finished goods from point-of-origin to point-of-consumption. |

| | Define supply chain management - a definition from Whatis.com - see also: SCM |
| | Supply chain management (SCM) is the oversight of materials, information, and finances as they move in a process from supplier to manufacturer to wholesaler to retailer to consumer. | | | As a solution for successful supply chain management, sophisticated software systems with Web interfaces are competing with Web-based application service providers (ASP) who promise to provide part or all of the SCM service for companies who rent their service. | | | By sharing this data "upstream" (with a company's suppliers) and "downstream" (with a company's clients), SCM applications have the potential to improve the time-to-market of products, reduce costs, and allow all parties in the supply chain to better manage current resources and plan for future needs. |

| | Integrated Supply Chain Management |
| | Supply chains can exist in both manufacturing and service organizations, and they are principally concerned with the flow of products and information between supply chain member organizations (procurement of materials, transformation of materials into finished product, and distribution of that product to end customers). | | | Effective management of the supply chain not only improves the flow of materials from the perspective of the end user, but it also reduces logistics costs. | | | Industry experts estimate that supply chain costs approach 75% of an organization’s total operating budget. |

| | Supply Chain Management |
| | A supply chain is a network of facilities and distribution options that performs the functions of procurement of materials, transformation of these materials into intermediate and finished products, and the distribution of these finished products to customers. | | | A supply chain is defined as a network of facilities and distribution options that performs the functions of procurement of materials, transformation of these materials into intermediate and finished products, and the distribution of these finished products to customers. | | | Eight pitfalls related to inventory management are described: no supply chain metrics, inadequate definition of customer service, inaccurate delivery status data, inefficient information systems, ignoring the impact of uncertainties, simplistic inventory stocking policies, organizational barriers, and an incomplete view of the supply chain. |

| | Supply Chain Management Software Survey |
| | Despite all the bad news, supply chain management is still a priority for a majority of business executives who are currently operating under excessive cost containment pressures, extra capacity in their markets, and volatility of global markets affected by wars, terrorism and health threats. | | | This supply chain management (SCM) software survey has been prepared with operations research professionals in mind and includes software products for supply chain planning and execution — excluding products that are solely for execution. | | | Rather, it is to present a collection of supply chain planning software companies that are available along with the types of markets they serve and services they provide. |

| | One of the fundamental tradeoffs in supply chain management is that between inventory levels and customer service. | | | One of the first steps in improving a supply chain is making sure that organizational responsibility for inventory levels and customer service are appropriately managed. | | | However, supply chain strategies can shift the entire curve, lowering your inventory levels without adversely affecting your customers (or the reverse, improving customer service levels with no increase in inventory). |

| | The ABCs of Supply Chain Management - Supply Chain Management Research Center - CIO |
| | Supply chain management (SCM) is the combination of art and science that goes into improving the way your company finds the raw components it needs to make a product or service and deliver it to customers. | | | Suppliers wouldn't have to guess how many raw materials to order, and manufacturers wouldn't have to order more than they need from suppliers to make sure they have enough on hand if demand for their products unexpectedly goes up. | | | A big piece of planning is developing a set of metrics to monitor the supply chain so that it is efficient, costs less and delivers high quality and value to customers. |
