Comment on Define “Supply Chain Management”… by Martin Arrand

A fair point, I think, Christian. It’s hard to find something pithy for when a stranger, typically a middle-aged well-to-do lady, says: “so what is it you actually do?”
One of the problems is it’s a term with a history, and the book is not closed. Various academics have their own opinions. They don’t always help the rest of us.

I actually like the definition of CSCMP quite well: “Supply Chain Management encompasses the planning and management of all activities involved in sourcing and procurement, conversion…It includes all of the logistics management activities as well as manufacturing operations and it drives coordination of processes and activities with and across marketing, sales, product design, finance and information technology”. It describes the management process well. I find the definition in this post is more related to what a Supply Chain is than what the management of that Supply Chain actually means.

Comment on 50 ways to make your warehouse seem bigger by Martin Arrand

Hi Tricia,

I quite agree – the little things certainly do add up. And moreover, starting by making small changes can generate momentum to further sustainable improvement.

I hope lots of people download the document (and the one on Transport, which I will check out).

Best of luck,
Martin.
