Dramatic changes have taken place in the world of business during the last ten years. These changes include the rapid expansion of the global marketplace and increased demand from customers for higher quality products coupled with quicker and more efficient delivery services. Moreover, the advent of modern information technology and electronic commerce has brought about unprecedented rethinking of the way businesses operate. In order to effectively respond to these changes many firms have abandoned traditional channels of distribution and are rebuilding around a supply chain management (SCM) model. Supply chain management is a process-oriented integrated approach to materials procurement, production, and efficient delivery of products and services to customers. The benefits of an SCM model are numerous and include: significant cost reductions, increased production effectiveness, customer satisfaction, and enhanced growth and profitability.
