Integrated Supply Chain Management

Azraa Raihan¹, Lavanya Krishnan²

Abstract

The field of Integrated Supply Chain Management (SCM) has developed in the last few years for bridging the gap between demand and supply efficiency and cost trade-offs. The SCM now not only involves the “management of logistic function”, as was done in the past but, includes the management and co-ordination of activities: both upstream and downstream linkage(s) in the supply chain. The last two decade has seen the rise of a plethora of acronyms always used in conjunction with production, operational management and control. To name a few JIT (Just-In-Time); TQM (Total-Quality-Management); ZI (Zero-Inventory); ECR (Efficient Consumer Response); VMI (Vendor Managed Inventory). All these have now been integrated within the domain of Supply Chain Management Process.
