Supply Chain Management (SCM) is a critical area of competitive advantage for organisations.SCM involves managing the flow of products and services, financial and information from the suppliers through value adding intermediaries to the customer's customer. It includes managing technical processes both within the firm between functions such as procurement, manufacturing and marketing, and between organisations such as manufacturers, distributors, wholesalers and retailers. Therefore, an understanding of people and relationships is an essential skill in managing these relationships.
