Supply Chain Management (SCM)
ITC's SCM new look & feel consists of four modules, each covering an important part of the supply chain.
INTRODUCTION
Managing the supply chain comprises multiple tasks that are multifaceted and complex. These tasks enable and direct flows of products/service, information, funds, and expertise / technology through a chain. This chain leads from the sources of inputs (suppliers) up to the end customers, with - depending on the types of organisations involved - varying supply chain actors, functions, processes and relationships.
The supply chain is seen to comprise all organisations and processes involved in the supply of a particular product or service, from the first upstream stage of extracting the raw materials up until the last downstream stage of meeting the end customers’ requirements. It is embedded in organisations or companies but at the same time exceeds their boundaries.
