3The Supply Chain
- Supply chain management is the integration of
business processes from end-user through original
suppliers that provide products, services and
information and add value for customers (The
International Centre for Competitive Excellence,
1994).

operations with those of it strategic suppliers
and its key intermediaries and customers. It
seeks to integrate the relationships and
operations of both immediate, first-tier
suppliers and those several tiers back in the
supply chainThe goal of SCM is to improve timing
and costs in manufacturing through strong vendor
relationships (Hutt and Spett, 1998).
