FUNDAMENTALS OF SUPPLY CHAIN MANAGEMENT

Overview Content Highlights

The field of supply chain is rapidly emerging into one that drives global supply
chain opportunities and challenges. From the manufacturing to distribution to
the service industry, regardless of whether a company is serving business or
consumer markets or is for profit or not-for-profit, the increasingly important
role of supply chain management is affecting all organizations. Customers
already expect good quality at low prices, and speed of delivery is becoming
more important. As a result, effective supply chain management has become
essential to successfully compete in today's global marketplace.
The concept of supply chain deals with procurement, inventory, warehousing,
transportation, manufacturing, assembly units, distribution, and customer
service management. The global trade practices have significantly evolved
due to technology advancement thus placing a heavy demand on supply
chain strategy, planning, technology, trade practice and implementation of
