supply chain management
definition: Supply chain management (SCM) is a term applied to a management philosophy and to the practices involved in implementing a SCM philosophy, although it can also be used to describe management processes that are not necessarily rooted in a guiding philosophy. SCM, which gained prominence as outsourcing become prevalent in the 1990s, brings together and extends the concerns of total quality management (TQM) and just-in-time (J-I-T) management techniques that preceded it.
