The Essential Supply Chain (4 Pages)
by Steve McVey
Aug 1, 2000 Abstract : Supply Chain Management (SCM) once viewed as a way to obtain a competitive advantage, is now perceived as a logical and necessary extension of Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP).

Finally, vendors have observed the complementary nature of SCM and ERP and are engaged in consolidation of their product suites.
