Supply Chain Management (SCM) is the management that consists of how the goods and services that transform raw materials into final products. It involves a business's supply-side activities to maximize customer value and make more profit in the marketplace.

SCM is crucial management because an optimized supply chain always means lower costs and faster production cycles. The supply chain includes finance, product development, distribution, marketing, operations, and well-known customer service.

How Supply Chain Management Works?

The supply chain always looks in the link of production, distribution, and shipment of the products. Managing SCM, companies are able to cut excess costs and deliver products to the consumer faster. This is done for control of internal production, distribution, sales, internal inventories, and the inventories of company vendors.

Supply Chain has categorized in Five parts:

1)Strategy and Planning.

2)Source of raw materials where it came from.

3)Manufacturing and its efficiency.

4) Distribution and Delivery System.

5) Return Services for defective and unwanted products.

Truths When Selecting Supply Chain Management Software

Most of the companies prefer to purchase separate Supply Chain Management (SCM) software rather than SCM module in the ERP system to handle the functions of the supply chain. By its nature, SCM software is generally considered a less complex structure and disruptive than ERP and it is more tightly focused on the opportunities that come for raw materials, issues and problems of distribution and delivery.
