Supply Chain Management

The management of the flow of goods and services from raw materials to the delivery of the final product.

Supply Chain Management (SCM) involves coordinating and managing the flow of goods, information, and finances from the initial sourcing of raw materials to the delivery of the final product to the end customer. SCM aims to improve efficiency, reduce costs, and ensure timely delivery.

For example, a smartphone manufacturer manages the supply chain from sourcing components to assembling the phones and distributing them to retailers.
