Since its inception in the early 1990's, the field of supply chain management has become tremendously important to companies in an increasingly competitive global marketplace. The term supply chain refers to the entire network of companies that work together to design, produce, warehouse, deliver, and service products. In the past, companies focused primarily on manufacturing and quality improvements within their own company; now their efforts extend well beyond so that they encompass the entire supply chain.
