Abstract
Organizations all around the world have woken up to the fact that in order for them to successfully compete in the international markets and to sustain their competitive advantage, they must strive to imbibe and rely on effective supply chains and networks. The management of the supply chain has thus caused a paradigm shift in the way most organizations function (Brandt 2009). Companies are seen to now focus on their core competencies and rope in external suppliers, distributors, and logistics providers in order to ensure that products are manufactured and delivered as per the demands of their customers (Zammori et al. 2009). Hence, it is imperative that there be a close cooperation between the various members who constitute a part in the supply chain.
