Importance of SCM
Supply chain is a critical component of modern business operations, serving as the backbone for the movement of goods, services, and information from suppliers to customers. It encompasses various stages, including procurement, manufacturing, logistics, and distribution, all of which work together to ensure timely and cost-effective delivery of products. SCM enhances operational efficiency, reduces costs, and helps businesses maintain a competitive edge in the market. It also plays a key role in managing risks, responding to changes in demand, and ensuring product quality. In today’s globalized economy, SCM is essential for meeting customer expectations and driving business growth.
