Supply chain management (SCM) is the management of the flow of goods and services.[2] It includes the movement and storage of raw materials, work-in-process inventory, and finished goods from point of origin to point of consumption. Interconnected or interlinked networks, channels and node businesses are involved in the provision of products and services required by end customers in a supply chain.[3] Supply chain management has been defined as the "design, planning, execution, control, and monitoring of supply chain activities with the objective of creating net value, building a competitive infrastructure, leveraging worldwide logistics, synchronizing supply with demand and measuring performance globally."
SCM draws heavily from the areas of industrial engineering, systems engineering, operations management, logistics, procurement, and information technology, and strives for an integrated approach.
The term "supply chain management" entered the public domain when Keith Oliver, a consultant at Booz Allen Hamilton (now Strategy&), used it in an interview for the Financial Times in 1982. The term was slow to take hold. It gained currency in the mid-1990s, when a flurry of articles and books came out on the subject. In the late 1990s it rose to prominence as a management buzzword, and operations managers began to use it in their titles with increasing regularity.
In many cases the supply chain includes the collection of goods after consumer use for recycling. Including third-party logistics or other gathering agencies as part of the RM re-patriation process is a way of illustrating the new endgame strategy.
This course is a major undergraduate bilingual compulsory examination course of industrial engineering. Aiming to meet the needs of economic globalization and China's modern logistics and supply chain management demand, this course will let the students learn the basic concepts, methods and theory of modern logistics and supply chain management, and understand the latest development, ideas and techniques of domestic and foreign modern logistics and supply chain management. From the learning of this course, the students can also play a good foundation on the further research of logistics and supply chain management. At the same time, the students will master a certain amount of professional English vocabulary and expression way of supply chain field by learning this course, and the ability to read the latest foreign information technology initiative and initiative.
