Supply chain management
Supply chain management (SCM) is the overall process of managing the flow of goods, services and information: from the sourcing of raw materials to the final delivery of the product to the customer. It is a strategic function that coordinates all the activities involved in this entire journey, with the goal of creating a more efficient, cost-effective and resilient supply chain.
Effective SCM goes beyond simple logistics; it involves five key components:
Planning: Forecasting demand and creating a strategy to meet it.
Sourcing: Finding and managing relationships with suppliers to ensure a reliable flow of materials.
Production: The manufacturing of the product from raw materials.
Transport & logistics: The transportation and distribution of the finished goods.
Returns: Managing the flow of products coming back from customers.
By optimizing these stages, businesses can reduce costs, improve product quality and increase customer satisfaction.
