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]

Add external link

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]
