Supply Chain Manager Competencies

摘要

Supply chain management (SCM) has been recognized by corporate business as a necessary business function, and may be used for competitive advantage. The definition of SCM has evolved over the past 25 years, with the concept gaining broad understanding. At the same time, corporations continue to staff SCM functions, but have not been fully satisfied with the talent available from academic institutions and their own development processes.Part of the problem underlying the insufficient talent pool has been a lack of defined competencies required for a supply chain manager. This paper describes the development of the Supply Chain Manager Competency Model® after reviewing the history of SCM and current SCM education.
