Supply Chain Management
This relates more to retail than industry but the term is often used in conjunction with VMI (above). The conventional Retail Supply Chain is typically: Manufacturer - Importer - Distributor - Depot - Retail Store. Web based technology is used to give 'visibility' of consignments within the chain so as to provide an indication of availability. Supply Chain Management in industry is usually much simpler with a chain of: Manufacturer - VMI - End User.
