"Supply chain management (SCM) is the management of a network of interconnected businesses involved in the ultimate provision of product and service packages required by end customers (Harland, 1996)"

"Supply chain management (SCM) is the combination of art and science that goes into improving the way your company finds the raw components it needs to make a product or service and deliver it to customers (Worthen & Wailgum, 2008)"

Dari dua definisi di atas, dapat ditarik kesimpulan bahwa Supply chain management (SCM) adalah sebuah teknik manajemen pengelolaan aliran produk yang terorganisir mulai dari pengadaan bahan baku, proses produksi hingga ke rantai paling akhir yaitu konsumen. Tujuan utama dari SCM adalah agar dicapai aliran produk yang efektif dan efisien sehingga keuntungan yang diperoleh optimal.

Sistem informasi memiliki peranan penting dalam kesuksesan SCM yang dilakukan. Sistem informasi tersebut harus dapat menyediakan semua informasi yang dibutuhkan, antara lain mengenai:
  • informasi pendukung seperti data permintaan, peramalan, kolaborasi potensial,
  • supplier bahan baku,
  • inventory bahan baku dan produk jadi,
  • proses produksi,
  • jaringan distribusi,
  • pihak ke-3 penyedia layanan,
  • finansial, dan
  • konsumen.
Sistem informasi yang dibutuhkan hendaknya berbasis aplikasi web yang dapat menyediakan informasi secara real-time, sehingga proses pengambilan keputusan dalam SCM dapat berjalan dengan baik.

Tahap ini merupkan tahap yang paling penting dalam SCM. Perusahaan juga harus mampu melakukan pengukuran kualitas, output produksi, dan produktivitas pekerja.
