Supply Chain Management (SCM) is the process of planning, implementing, and controlling the operations of the supply chain with the purpose to satisfy customer requirements as efficiently as possible. Supply chain management spans all movement and storage of raw materials, work-in-process inventory, and finished goods from point-of-origin to point-of-consumption. The term supply chain management was coined by strategy consulting firm Booz Allen Hamilton in 1982. |

Corporate IT spending continues to grow. Since 1994, the IT spending per worker has more than doubled, from US$3,500 to US$8,000 per worker. Annual productivity growth in U.S. companies roughly doubled in the same period, after experiencing 1.4% growth for 20 years (Harvard Business Review, July–August 2008). But in today’s economy, competitive advantage is short-lived, and leading companies recognize that continued investments in the virtuous cycle of technology are required to stay ahead.
