Supply Chain Management (SCM), long an integral part of Operations Management, focuses on all elements of creating a product or service, and delivering that product or service, at the optimal cost and within an optimal timeframe. It spans the movement and storage of raw materials, work-in-process inventory, and finished goods from point of origin to point of consumption.

In an enterprise resource planning (ERP) software environment, supply chain management is not a discipline unto itself. It is part of the business as a whole, with multiple dependencies between finance, manufacturing, purchasing and sales. Technet Applications' supply chain functionality is a core component in our enterprise solution, from purchasing through to environmental footprint management of the value stream, delivering you.
