Abstract:
Supply Chain Management (SCM) is a concept that is gaining in popularity and importance. However,
SCM is not a concept without problems. These problems include the lack of a universally accepted
definition of SCM, the existence of several different and competing frameworks for SCM, issues with
terminology and the relative lack of empirical evidence supporting the benefits attributed to SCM. The
purpose for this paper is therefor to bring some clarification to the concept of SCM by exploring some of
the more prevalent SCM definitions, frameworks and terminology.
