  • Supply chain management : the relationships in supply chains
    Potočan, Vojko
    Supply chain management (SCM) presents integrated concept of managing across the traditional functional areas of purchasing operations and physical distribution. While logisticians have devoted ... relatively little attention to managing the chain of supply upstream of the purchasing function into suppliers' operations, and materials managers have more or less ignored the management of the flow of finished goods and services downstream through distribution channels, SCM views the entire chain as a system to be managed. SCM can be defined as "managing the entire chain of raw material supply, manufacture, assembly and distribution to the end customer". One of the main decisions of interest in SCM is how much of the supply chain (SC) should be owned by each business. This is called the extent of vertical integration. But in the modern business environment vertical integrations alone are not enough. The alternative to vertical integration is some other form of relationship, not necessarily ownership. The relationship between the links of the SC will be examined in more details in terms of the flows between the operations involved. These flows may be transformed resources such as materials or transforming resources such as people or equipment. The term used to include all the different types of flow is exchange. This contribution discusses two theses: 1) How (different) relationships in supply chain impact on organizing the SC and 2) How (different) organizational forms impact on SC and SCM.
