Abstract

The concept “supply chain management“ (SCM) is used in this book to refer to the means by which firms engage in creating, distributing and selling products [1]. That includes all cooperative efforts among members of the Supply Chain (SC) in order to reach higher market intelligence through a more precise market information gathering, product research, product development and design, and value analysis of the total system [2–4].
