What is Supply Chain Management?

Supply Chain Management (SCM) is management of the flow of goods, data, and finances related to a product or service, from the procurement of raw materials to the delivery of the product at its final destination.

Logistics is one component of the supply chain. Digitally based SCM systems include material handling and software for all parties involved in product or service creation, order fulfillment, and information tracking - such as suppliers, manufacturers, wholesalers, transportation and logistics providers, and retailers.
