What is Supply Chain Management?

Within the Supply Chain Management (SCM) philosophy, businesses manage their source materials, information and finances throughout the entirety of the supply chain. Once a particular supply chain is established, the various businesses involved in the chain share information with one another in order to synchronize their assets, coordinate their production techniques, and ensure the continued synchronization of supply and demand throughout the chain. SCM traditionally dealt almost exclusively with the maintenance of the flow of actual products within the supply chain, but the emergence of the internet has placed continually increasing importance on the flow of information throughout the chain as well.

Chartered Institute of Logistics and Transport 

The Institute is interested in using the NVQs in Supply Chain Management as a qualifier towards membership of their organisation but they need more time to determine which units they would recognise for membership and the area they would be looking at for Member level (MILT).
