Supply Chain Management (SCM) is the process of strategically managing flows of goods, services, finance, and knowledge, along with relationships within and among organizations, to realize greater economic value through:

• Supporting enterprise strategic objectives
• Contributing to the achievement of strategic competitiveness of the enterprise
• Contributing to the enhancement of the competitive advantage of the enterprise
• Enhancing customer satisfaction

The goal of this module is to have candidates appreciate the big picture and recognize the critical, strategic, and dynamic nature of SCM.  This module develops the functional and institutional aspects of SCM and lays the foundation for the remaining modules and workshops in the SCMP program.

Upon completion of this module candidates should be able to:

• Analyze, discuss, and present case reports.
