Supply Chain Management (SCM) |
|
Supply Chain Management (SCM) business systems are used to connect, coordinate and manage the movement of products or services across interconnected trading partners including customers, suppliers, manufacturers, distributors, shippers and other participants providing valued-added services.
SCM can be broadly aligned in two categories -- Supply Chain Planning (SCP) which includes demand, supply & inventory planning, forecasting, optimization, network design and other planning related processes;
and Supply Chain Execution (SCE) which includes warehouse management (WMS), transportation management (TMS), logistics, event management and other physical handling and execution processes.
Recent developments and business evolution have made the term 'supply chain' somewhat of a misnomer in contemporary practice where the 'chain' is actually a complex network and the 'supply' is becoming more demand driven, giving rise to Demand Driven Networks.
