AB  - Common to all manufacturing companies is the need to control the
flow of material from suppliers, through the value adding processes and
distribution channels, to customers. The supply chain is the connected
series of activities which is concerned with planning, co‐ordinating and
controlling material, parts and finished goods from supplier to
customer. Traditionally, the flow of material has been considered only
at an operational level. No longer, however, can the potential of
integrating the supply chain be ignored. Companies that manage the
supply chain as a single entity and ensure the appropriate use of tools
and techniques in order to meet the needs of the market, will not get
left behind in the fight for survival.
