What does 'Supply Chain Management' mean?

Manufacturers, suppliers, distributors, retailers, and customers make up the supply chain ecosystem. Supply activities' planning, implementation, control, and monitoring are all part of supply chain management (SCM). The physical aspects of supply, such as storage and shipping, are handled by an ERP solution, as is the market side of successfully managing demand and supply to satisfy client requests. From material procurement through end-customer product delivery, feature-rich ERP software delivers value to the entire chain. Material flows, information flows, and financial flows are all coordinated and integrated by an effective ERP solution. In the case of large-batch production processes, an ERP solution in SCM enhances the accuracy of demand forecasts and guarantees that inventory costs are minimized.
