Brief Historical Background The distinction between supply chain management and logistics is blurry in the literature and the terms often used interchangeably.
Today it focuses more on dynamic buyer-supplier relationships towards the entire supply chain integration, of which the implementation of e-business is the new dimension.
Modern SC View An effective SC ensures high level of Customer Service at optimum level! So simple yet extremly demanding...... Operational view an efficient supply chain that ensures products are on the shelf, available for sale, when Shoppers come to buy them ... all the time!
The planning and management of all activities involved in sourcing and procurement, conversion, and all logistics management activities also includes coordination with channel partners, which can be suppliers, intermediaries, third party service providers, and customers.
A definition: Maximising added value and reducing total cost across the entire trading process through focusing on speed and certainty of response to the market.

Cycle Time
A key aspect of supply chain management is cycle time. Cycle time refers to the total time required to complete a process. Much of this can be wasted time or time that is not used efficiently.
A number of factors can slow down cycle time: unnecessary steps;
Activities that may have been in place for a long time but no longer add value;
Ineffective or poorly utilized technology; Excessive bureaucracy (procedures, controls, and forms that stagnate the process); Poor communication, coordination, and cooperation.
Cycle Time
1. Supply Chain Cycle time - time spent by the supply chain to convert the
raw materials into final products plus the time needed to reach the products to the customer
2. Order to delivery cycle time - the time elapsed between the placement of
an order by a customer and the delivery of products to the customer

Velocity Management
Velocity management improves the speed and accuracy with which materials and information flow from providers to users. This in turn reduces the need for massive stockpiles of resources. The result has been impressive. Accelerated deliveries of spare parts have accelerated the repairs of cars.
