Main presentation:
Supply Chain Management 2010:
Charting the Future of Strategic Supply Chain Management
Presentation Slides Increasingly managers, researchers, and
educators recognize the importance of supply chain management (SCM) as both
a strategic and tactical weapon. Initially, the supply chain was viewed as
an entity that was primarily concerned with the upstream --- suppliers and
supplier management. By the mid 1990s, there was a change in orientation.
Today, we are seeing another shift in focus --- from supply chain management
to strategic supply chain management. It is a field built and expanded by
managers and firms such as Toyota, McDonald’s, Wal-Mart, and Dell. Learn the
expected changes in SCM practices in the next 5 to 10 years, where leading
practitioners plan to direct their organizations in SCM, and what the
educational and research needs are to facilitate these changes in industry.
