Supply chain management (SCM) is the efficient and effective execution of the chain of events that leads to the delivery of a product to its end user. Many different steps and the linking of organizations are involved in achieving competitive advantage and customer value during this process. Both physical and virtual information connect the supply chain’s distinct parts.
Technological revolutions have dramatically increased capacity for efficiency in all areas of SCM. Walmart’s satellite network demonstrates how virtual information can link products, people, and places around the globe. With globalization comes increased competition for customer loyalty. Supply chain performance plays an important role in delivering the right products to the right place at the right time.
Because change is one of the fundamental characteristics of supply chains, the skills needed to manage them are always evolving. Thus, to excel in SCM, executives must continually enhance and expand their knowledge and abilities, and adapt to the latest changes in their fields. Effective supply chain managers not only manage their organizations, but also serve as strong leaders for their employees.
