	'''Supply Management''' is defined as “The process of obtaining and managing of materials, components or services needed to operate a business or other type of firm. The elements of supply management contain the actual materials/components, budgets, information, and employees.

		+	The term supply management, also called procurement, describes the [[Method\|methods]] and [[Process\|processes]] of modern corporate or institutional buying. This may be for the purchasing of supplies for internal use referred to as indirect goods and services, purchasing raw materials for the consumption during the [[Manufacturing\|manufacturing]] process, or for the purchasing of goods for [[Inventory\|inventory]] to be resold as products in the distribution and retail process. In many [[Organization\|organizations]], acquisition or buying of services is called contracting, while that of goods is called purchasing or procurement. The supply management function of an organization is responsible for various aspects of these acquisitions:
		+	*Working with business leaders who have identified a [[Business Requirements\|business need or requirement]] to identify, source, contract, and procure the needed good or service from qualified suppliers
		+	*Managing supplier performance
		+	*Implementing technologies, processes, policies, and procedures to support the purchasing process (Supplier Relationship Management).
		+	*The supplier relationship management process: a process for providing the structure for how relationships with suppliers will be developed and maintained.
		+	*Economic theories of supply and demand
		+	*Supply management is generally regarded as a systematic business process that includes more functions than traditional buying, such as coordinating inbound and internal pre-production logistics and managing inventory.
		+	Supply management deals primarily with the oversight and management of materials and services inputs, management of the suppliers who provide those inputs, and support of the process of acquiring those inputs. The performance of supply management departments and supply management professionals is commonly measured in terms of amount of money saved for the organization. However, managing risk is another aspect of supply management, with the risk of non-availability at the required time of quality goods and services for an organization's survival and growth.<ref>What Does Supply Management Mean?

	Most people consider [[Supply Chain Management (SCM)\|supply chain management]] as the way corporations buy raw materials and finished goods. But supply management is more than simply buying [[Product\|products]] and contracting for [[service\|services]]. It is a systematic [[Business Process\|business process]] that goes further than [[Procurement\|procurement]] to include the coordination of pre-production [[Logistics\|logistics]] and [[Inventory Management\|inventory management]], along with [[Budget\|budgeting]], [[Employee\|employees]], and other key information to keep the business running smoothly.

		+	'''Supply Management Vs. Supply Chain Management<ref> What's the Difference Between Procurement and Supply Chain Management? [https://www.thomasnet.com/insights/supply-management-vs-supply-chain-management/ ThomasNet]</ref>'''<br />
		+	The difference between supply management (procurement) and supply chain management is simply that procurement represents only a portion of supply chain management processes, which have a more expansive view over a wide range of internal mechanisms. However, without procurement, there would be no such thing as supply chain management. As organizations adopted stronger materials management practices, procurement began to become increasingly important. Supply began to work closely with other materials departments to understand the impact of inventory carrying costs on supply decisions. In doing this, supply personnel gained a better understanding of transportation and the substantial savings generated through joint efforts. Relationships improved significantly and departments under the materials manager worked more closely as united teams rather than disparate groups.
		+
		+	Supply chain management evolved from this collaborative approach and combined supply management with additional departments. Supply chain management also expanded beyond the organization to include layers of suppliers and logistics providers, as well as multiple customer tiers. Unlike procurement and supply management, which focus primarily on specific processes, Supply chain management (SCM) considers the flows of materials and services, information, finance, and relationships across all boundaries. SCM offers the supply professional improved total cost of ownership numbers, suppliers and supplier management, new ways of managing inventory, and earlier risk warning signals. The supply professional has several opportunities within SCM for leadership and significant contribution to revenue and profit growth in their organizations. SCM moves from managing functions to managing a series of supply chain networks that include the physical, informational, financial, and relational flows within a particular network from cradle-to-grave or cradle-to-cradle. A supply chain manager is typically involved with:
		+	*The selection, evaluation, management, and development of the existing supply base
		+	*A thorough understanding of the entire supply base, capacity, and potential suppliers
		+	*The ability and skill to manage global suppliers anywhere in the world as needed
		+	*Selection and management of tiers of suppliers, not just tier one, but tier two, three, and so on
		+	*An understanding of global economic impacts that guides the organization in making informed location decisions
		+	*The ability to advise the organization on offshoring, nearshoring, best shoring, onshoring, and insourcing decisions to capture the best place at any time to manufacture
		+	*Participation in risk management planning, portfolio management, and rapid recovery of the organization due to supply and supply chain disruptions

		+	*It starts with the identification of the materials or components required to fulfill the requirement of the enterprise. During this phase, the need is to convert into a statement describing the materials or components required to fulfill the need. It is projected that around 85% of the cost of material is determined during this phase. In sophisticated and multinational firms, supply management professionals and pre-qualified vendors are involved in this phase.
		+	*The second phase of supply management contains identifying the supplier who will best fulfill the need.
		+	*The third phase comprises the process of establishing a reasonable and fair price for the material to be purchased.
		+	*The fourth phase results in an enforceable contract for the purchase that fulfills the requirement of both firms (supplier and buyer).
		+	*The last phase needs managing the relationship to guarantee quality and delivery time of the material. During this last stage, the supply management firm may work with the supplier in an effort to enhance the efficiency of the supplier with the objective of reducing cost and/or improving [[Quality\|quality]]
