Supply Chain Management

Supply chain refers to a system of people, organization, technology, information, activities, and other resources which are involved in movement of products, services or both from supplier(s) to customer(s). It is to manage supply and demand economically, on time and adequately. Hence it requires an efficient way of forecasting, planning, implementation and execution of supply chain operations. Main objective of supply chain management is satisfaction of mid and end user through efficient utilization of distribution capacity, labor, inventory and other available resources.
An effective Supply Chain Management involves following activities:
  • Procurement
  • Storage of raw materials
  • Planning of production
  • Scheduling
  • Storage of raw materials
  • Warehousing
  • Inventory
  • Finished goods
  • Processing of order
  • Customer service
  • Returns Management
  • Reverse Logistics
Although companies have learnt to squeeze maximum efficiencies out of their manufacturing plants through statistical process control, lean manufacturing practices and just in time replenishment, but they still face the problem of moving goods and services through different layers of global supply chain. This is because the process of movement is costly and time consuming.
Both logistics and supply chain involve movement of storage of materials within company and movement of finished goods to the end users hence they have become of prime importance to most of the businesses.
