==Proposed merge from [[Supply chain event management]]==
Any comments on the proposal? - [[User:Nzd|N]] [[User talk:Nzd|(talk)]] 03:57, 17 January 2006 (UTC)
:No arguments against, so I am merging. --[[User:Ezeu|Ezeu]] 22:18, 5 February 2006 (UTC)

any suggestion on where to get used book for CPIM certification

==Proposed merge with [[Bullwhip effect]]==
This seems like a particular side effect or subtopic of [[Supply chain management]] not critical to the topic itself. It seems like merging it would simply diminish interest in the subtopic. I would be opposed to merging. [[User:Avt tor|Avt tor]] 16:03, 22 May 2006 (UTC)
:I would oppose merging it too. Besides diluting the topic, I think Bullwhip Effect should be discussed by itself and the importance conveyed. There are other spin-offs of SCM similar to Bullwhip Effect which would then be qualified to enter this article. [[User:Nshuks7|Nshuks7]] 08:25, 15 June 2006 (UTC)
::I also oppose merging the Bullwhip Effect page with the general page for supply chain management. The bullwhip effect is important enough to warrant its own entry in wikipedia, yet it is not so central to the field that it warrants inclusion on the SCM page. [[User:Sonicace|Sonicace]] 03:03, 31 August 2006 (UTC)
([[User:Samsamtor|Samsamtor]] ([[User talk:Samsamtor|talk]]) 01:47, 24 January 2011 (UTC)) I don't agree with merging this topic with bullwhip effect. Anyway, principle of 3 flows (information, finanacial , material) should be stressed strongly.

== Merge from [[Supply chain diversification]] ==

A merge from [[Supply chain diversification]] has been proposed. This proposal comes after the proposal to have the said article merged with the article on [[Procurement]] in wich I voted against, but suggested considering the merger with this article instead. The tone of the two articles seem non-cohesive, probably because the point of view is of management v.s. operations. I would like to get some imput on this merger. --[[User:Emana|Emana]] 17:37, 14 November 2006 (UTC)
: Nobody has given their opinion on this issue for three weeks. Under normal Wikipedia circumstances, the merge will happen, but in the case of this article, there has been so much more content added to it since the proposal of the merger. The new content added veers away from the tone and issue that prompted this merger. In my opinion the merger is no longer appropriate. Therefore, I will rescind the proposal. Remember, the merger can be proposed again by anyone who wishes to do so. --[[User:Emana|Emana]] 17:06, 6 December 2006 (UTC)


I do not think that the merge should be done, since SCM is a very particular topic of the operation management.

== SCM Solutions comparison ==

SCM solutions are many. Which one is better and Why? SAP or i2 <small>—The preceding [[Wikipedia:Sign your posts on talk pages|unsigned]] comment was added by [[Special:Contributions/221.128.181.120|221.128.181.120]] ([[User talk:Arun|talk]]) 18:23, 11 February 2007 (UTC).</small><!-- HagermanBot Auto-Unsigned -->
It would not be wise to merge these topics

==Reference spam?==

I noticed that this was added to the article before it's publication date, as far as I can tell. It was originally added 15 Sept '06 with a different isbn and a publication year of 2006, but I cannot verify either [http://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=Supply_chain_management&diff=75880789&oldid=75825073]. I think it should be removed unless someone has another explanation. --[[User:Ronz|<span style="color:lime; background-color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">&nbsp;Ronz&nbsp;</span>]] 00:08, 15 June 2007 (UTC)

== Channel Partner ==

Can someone please add the definition of a "channel partner" That would be helpful in the explanation of SCM. <small>—Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[User:Ac523|Ac523]] ([[User talk:Ac523|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Ac523|contribs]]) 18:54, August 24, 2007 (UTC)</small><!-- Template:Unsigned --> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->

Channels are the various ways you can reach the end users or consumers. Examples are Retail Channel, Distributor Channel, B2B Channel, B2C Channel etc. The business partners or associates that enable the flow of products in each of these channels are called the Channel Partners. Examples are distributors, wholesellers, stockists, selling agents. <small>—Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[Special:Contributions/220.224.101.116|220.224.101.116]] ([[User talk:220.224.101.116|talk]]) 08:01, 27 April 2008 (UTC)</small><!-- Template:UnsignedIP --> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->

== Reverse Supply Chain ==
Reverse Supply Chain topic should be added as a context of forward and reverse supply chain. Please provide opinion on this.


While the reverse supply chain management is an important topic, but still it is a small part of the SCM as a whole. It would be misleading if we divide the whole SCM into two parts of forward and reverse. On the other hand, the reverse logistic page in Wikipedia already has an article closely related to the RSCM. If this is not enough, then my opinion is to post an independent article about the RSCM. [[User:Iburn78|Iburn78]] 23:53, 16 October 2007 (UTC)

== Strategic, tactical, operational ==

In the article, three levels of SCM are mentioned: strategic, tactical, operational SCM. Is there any source where these distinction is made, i.e. in a seminal paper or a popular book? [[Special:Contributions/130.149.169.42|130.149.169.42]] ([[User talk:130.149.169.42|talk]]) 14:13, 27 October 2008 (UTC)

== Image doesn't show a supply-chain ==

The image doesn't show a supply-chain, but the internal logistic chain of a company. A supply chain must be consist at least of: supplier-customer-supplier or customer-supplier-customer. The image is wrong. -- [[User:Grochim|Grochim]] ([[User talk:Grochim|talk]]) 07:51, 20 January 2009 (UTC)

:Agree. The primary conception of a supply chain is the chain of producer-to-consumer links, not some dubious introspective model. If we're going to show an image at the top, it should reflect the consensus view of a supply chain. [[Special:Contributions/70.251.32.227|70.251.32.227]] ([[User talk:70.251.32.227|talk]]) 02:53, 7 February 2009 (UTC)

== Wrong Focus on Supply Chain Management ==

The authors of this article must be from the transportation industry and they appear to know very little about managing suppliers. Product quality compliance and control of intellectual property rights are often the most critical and challenging aspects. The article contains no details on these. Instead, most descriptions are on shipping and trucking, which are the downstream tasks only.[[User:Kstam|Kstam]] ([[User talk:Kstam|talk]]) 02:57, 13 May 2009 (UTC)

== Query ==

This sentence under "Supply chain management d)" is garbled. Where is the verb?

Activities related to planning, scheduling and supporting manufacturing operations, such as work-in-process storage, handling, transportation, and time phasing of components, inventory at manufacturing sites and maximum flexibility in the coordination of geographic and final assemblies postponement of physical distribution operations.

Thanks for clarifying. --[[User:Remotelysensed|Remotelysensed]] ([[User talk:Remotelysensed|talk]]) 16:26, 3 September 2009 (UTC)

== Tax efficient ==

I propose a merge from [[Tax Efficient Supply Chain Management]] for a number of reasons:

#The capitalization suggests it's a particular company's formulation.
#It is basically a dictionary definition.
#It has had a notability tag for over 6 months, without any edits made.

However, it is and probably should be mentioned in this article, so ''if'' there is something relevant there, it should be merged here, and then the redirect should be moved to the correct capitalization. — [[User:Arthur Rubin|Arthur Rubin]] [[User talk:Arthur Rubin|(talk)]] 17:52, 19 December 2009 (UTC)

:Tax Efficient Supply Chain Management is not recognized as a methodology accepted by APICS or other professional supply chain certification groups. This sounds like someone selling software attempting to get a link into supply chain pages here for their product. It has not been proven that this idea has been accepted or even discussed by the major professional supply chain groups. [[User:Inventoryguy|Inventoryguy]] ([[User talk:Inventoryguy|talk]]) 20:35, 18 February 2010 (UTC)

::You're probably right. — [[User:Arthur Rubin|Arthur Rubin]] [[User talk:Arthur Rubin|(talk)]] 22:53, 18 February 2010 (UTC)

==Removal of references==
The recent blanking of the [http://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=Supply_chain_management&action=historysubmit&diff=373086383&oldid=371812327 Supply chain management] section made me notice that cited references have been removed from the article. I'm also concerned that this and much more information may have been copied from somewhere. It was originally added [http://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=Supply_chain_management&action=historysubmit&diff=59711384&oldid=59580660 here] by an editor with no other edits. --[[User:Ronz|Ronz]] ([[User talk:Ronz|talk]]) 15:02, 12 July 2010 (UTC)

== Coverage and Write-Up Quality of the SCM Section ==

I agree with other comments that this SCM section is too biased to the downstream end of the supply chain.
I also feel that the write-up is written by someone who has never actualy worked in the supply chain industry for the wording is very verbose and misses the point on many of the issues covered.
A new starter reading this would only receive about 20% of what is needed in any decent and pragmatic description of SCM in my opinion.
Having said that, my task now is to write something that addresses the shortcomings identified. <small><span class="autosigned">—Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[User:DrRobo|DrRobo]] ([[User talk:DrRobo|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/DrRobo|contribs]]) 23:18, 19 August 2010 (UTC)</span></small><!-- Template:Unsigned --> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->

== Good effort; Linked from Total Quality Management ==

I have read the article on SCM and the comments in the Discussion. I hope to balance these comments by saying that I find the article very informative and well-referenced. I believe that it is the role of practitioners out there to beef up the applications section by adding case studies of SCM. In fact, as I was editing [[Total Quality Management]], I have just created a link to Supply Chain Management. Well done and keep it up. (P.s. For those of you who also have experience with TQM please go over and give your input to that relatively pathetic looking article)[[User:Mikebeep|Mikebeep]] ([[User talk:Mikebeep|talk]]) 21:25, 27 November 2010 (UTC)

==Green supply chain management==
There's brief mention in this article of 'supply chain sustainability', and in that context environmental considerations. Over the last decade or more there's been a whole explosion, though, of 'green supply chain management'. This goes beyond the sustainability of supply chains, foregrounding environmental considerations as a goal as well as a means. Would be great to see this further developed here, or in a spin-off article. [[User:DASonnenfeld|DA Sonnenfeld]] ([[User talk:DASonnenfeld|talk]]) 11:01, 5 November 2011 (UTC)

Logistics/SCM association

What are the names of the leading logistics or SCM federations or representations of interests in this field in the U.S., in Russia, and in the European Union? For Europe this may be http://www.elalog.org/ (European Logistics Association). I'm searching for associations like this one. 130.149.169.40 08:55, 20 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

>> CSCMP (Council of Supply Chain Management Professionals) definitely comes to mind: www.cscmp.org

Thank you, so far. Does anybody of you has additional suggestions? 15:28, 25 June 2007 (UTC)

I think that the a reference to the supply chain council should be included as well (see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Supply-Chain_Council). This standardisation organisation is developing since the mid 1990ies the Supply Chain Operations Reference-model (see also http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SCOR). Note further that respective wikepedia articles need considerable rework. I'm laccking the time for this.

Other associations would include LRN (the Logistics Research Network related to CILT/UK), NOFOMA (the Nordic Logistics Research Network) as well as a bunch of purchasing (e.g. IPSERA) and operations management (e.g. POMS, EUROMA) related networks. 128.214.107.203 (talk) 08:35, 2 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Should there not be references to other bodies sucha as the Purchasing Management Association of Canada (PMAC)? 208.98.249.49 (talk) 14:14, 25 September 2012 (UTC) Bill Martin, SCMP, CPP, CPM[reply]

I have recently come across an interesting whitepaper [1] that addresses the key issues in supply chain management and suggests means to streamline the irregularities.10:17, 8 January 2015 (UTC)10:17, 8 January 2015 (UTC)10:17, 8 January 2015 (UTC)~ — Preceding unsigned comment added by Vedanga Kumar (talk • contribs)

I would like to add www.buyersmeetingpoint.com as a link under supply chain management. This is an eductional site for procurement professionals to share experiences and knowledge among their peers. The majority of information is available at no cost. There is a forum for professionals to share their knowledge and ask questions to others in the industry. This seems to be a helpful and appropriate link for those interested in procurement.BMPmanagement (talk) 00:18, 3 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

See WP:EL. In general, such links are inappropriate. You probably should read WP:COI as well if you haven't yet. --Ronz (talk) 01:39, 3 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The definition of Supply Chain Management given in the first paragraph is quite adequate but I think it needs to be made clear that Supply Chain Management is nothing more than a rather long-winded name for what used to be called Operations, but I will leave it to the original author as to how he/she may like to word it.Snookerrobot (talk) 21:05, 26 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

First sentence doesn't make sense

The first sentence in the introduction doesn't make sense to me. The phrasing is very ambiguous. There might be a huge grammatical error, or perhaps it just needs to be worded differently. I want to reword it myself, but I can't really figure out what it's saying as I am not familiar with SCM at all. (That's why I'm here.) un4v41l48l3 (talk) 17:49, 19 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
