Supply chain management encompasses the multitude of processes and operations that transform raw materials into products and distribute those products through retail sales channels. As a result of profit pressures, market globalisation, the availability of new technologies, the emphasis on value enhancement, as well as ESG drivers, the supply chain is been redefined. It is increasingly being viewed as a strategic element which can create a sustainable competitive advantage for companies, offering opportunities for cost efficiencies, improved inventory management, real-time communication, better supplier / provider/ customer relationships, and overall, operational excellence.
Companies are looking at the impact their operations are having on the environment as well as the positive or negative impact on the communities in which they operate.
