 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

In commerce, supply-chain management (SCM), the management of the flow of goods and

services, involves the movement and storage of raw materials, of work-in-process inventory,
and of finished goods from point of origin to point of consumption. Interconnected or
interlinked networks, channels and node businesses combine in the provision
of products and services required by end customers in a supply chain.

Supply-chain management has been defined  as the "design, planning, execution, control, and
monitoring of supply-chain activities with the objective of creating net value, building a
competitive infrastructure, leveraging worldwide logistics, synchronizing supply with
demand and measuring performance globally."
