Interfaces between organisations can be notoriously inefficient. Purchasing and procurement people are key in combating this inefficiency and in developing new practice. Supply Chain Management (SCM) is a strategic approach, which encompasses all the processes that contribute to the creation of value. The benefits of SCM have been recognised for some time but few organisations have effectively implemented the concept. Surviving Supply Chain Management exposes the barriers companies face in trying to apply SCM and provides the reader with the tactics to avoid and overcome them.
