Today, many businesses are failing owing to the incompetency in achieving an effective supply chain process.

Rather, businesses succeed when they combine other marketing strategies with a successful implementation of supply chain process. Newer techniques already are in place and there is a need for more innovative solutions to come out with an effective supply chain management.
In this paper, an attempt has been made to emphasize the important of challenges facing the organizations today, current trends and techniques existing in the marketplace with respect to supply chain process and henceforth the solutions have been suggested to help those who are in businesses.
The limitation of this paper is it does not present any market data or statistical data which is only possible when a industry or a particular firm is studied in detail. However, certain solutions are good to be taken note of and to be implemented.
