SUPPLY CHAIN MANAGEMENT

Business Analytics. Consulting. Contracts. Logistics. Procurement.

Supply Chain Management (SCMA) involves the management of materials and information across the entire supply chain. The nature of the job consists of purchasing, logistics, and consulting. This includes raw material suppliers, component producers, final assembly and distribution, and may include after-sales service and returns or recycling. SCM is important to organizations because it contains tremendous advantages that can be realized through collaborative management of the whole logistics and transportation network (chain).
