The term supply chain management has risen to prominence over the past ten years. Although there are many reasons for the popularity of this concept the most common is because customers are demanding products consistently; delivered faster, on time, and with no damages. This is no longer a competitive advantage but a a requirement to be in the market. This has caused corporations to turn to global sources for their supplies. This globalization of supplies has forced companies to look for more effective ways to coordinate the flow of materials into and out of the company. Key to such coordination is an orientation toward closer relationships with suppliers.
Despite the popularity of the term Supply Chain Management, both in academia and practice, there remains considerable confusion as to its meaning. It has been noted that discussions of Supply Chin management often use complicated terminology, thus limiting management’s understanding of the concept and its effectiveness for practical application. This journal is dedicated to reviewing, classifying, and synthesising some of the widely-used definitions of supply chains and supply chain management.

The technical term for supply chain is defined as a set of three or more entities directly involved in the upstream and downstream flows or products, services, finances, and information form a source to a customer. From this definition we can identify three degrees of supply chain complexity: a direct supply chain, and extended supply chain, and an ultimate supply chain. A direct supply chain consists of a company, a supplier, and customers of the immediate customer, all of witch are involved in the upstream and downstream flows of products, services, finances, and information. An extended supply chain includes suppliers of the immediate
