With the development of the integrative supply chain management
approach, traditional thinking about concepts such as purchasing,
materials management, distribution and logistics management has
become outdated. Speculation on the reasons for dynamic growth of
supply chain management in South African businesses ranges from the
opening up of the domestic economy to the pressure of global
competitors. The astonishing success of progressive organisations
such as SA Breweries, Sasol, Iscor, Steinhoff and Sappi in the
international marketplace, however, is in no small part a result of
their early adoption of the supply chain philosophy (customer value
creation, total cost of ownership, integration of processes and the
reduction of cycle time) and they have contributed significantly to
the unprecedented growth of supply chain management in South
Africa. Supply chain management identifies the strategic impact and
evolutionary direction of the field in a global market environment
and emphasises the changes in processes and management thinking
required to introduce supply chain management in South African
organisations. It covers topics such as supply chain strategies,
organisations, optimisation, performance improvement, customer
service, quality and inventory management, total cost of ownership,
green supply chain management, investment recovery, e-commerce,
negotiations, transport and distribution management, the retail
supply chain and global supply chain management. Supply chain
management is aimed at all supply chain, logistics and transport
management students.
