Supply Chain Management Constraints: Telecom Industry Case Study

摘要

This paper treats of the Supply Chain Management as an organizing concept and also discusses of its' principal implementation constraints. This study is based on semi-directive interviews with telecom industry companies' personnel members and direct observation. The Telecom Industry example is employed to illustrate the actor's perception. The objective is to emerge the SCM constraints dimensions. In this study, several levels of SCM implementation constraints are identified. The generic level constraints, the trade level constraints, the information systems level constraints and the subcontracting level constraints. These dimensions allow drawing up framework actions to improve the SCM concept performance within the telecom industry.
