6. Supply Chain Management (SCM) and Execution (SCE) are the interactive and collaborative processes and tools that leverage strategic relationships within the supply chain for the sharing of confidential and mission critical sales, forecasting, planning, purchasing and replenishment data with the ultimate objective of maximizing efficiencies, reducing costs and increasing profits by proactively insuring that the right product is delivered to the right place at the right time . What are SCM & SCE key objectives ?

7. The basic supply chain should be integrated to manage the a complex flow of information, both between and within enterprises The challenge is to integrate this information and make it accessible where, when and how needed What are some of the challenges?

22. How are SMEs’ in APAC region, reaping the benefits of SCM practices ?

25. Research undertaken on SMEs’ in the SCM arena

26. Research findings Caldwell, Harland, Powell, Woerndl and Zheng (2002, p. 124) identified: SMEs’ tend to focus more on achieving operational efficiencies but overlook the strategic potential of IT

27. Research findings (Contd.) Levy, Powell and Yetton (2001, p. 133-144) found: The introduction of information and communication technologies into SMEs is usually fragmented . They are concentrated on operational support and transaction processing. The organisation structure, owners’ attitude, limited IT infrastructure, limited knowledge and limited expertise in integrated system tend to decrease their ability to plan effectively.
