Supply chain management is one of the major functions of any business. Supply chain is a way of looking at an organization as a series of processes rather than departments. With viewing a company as a series of processes, cost savings, time savings, and job satisfaction measures can be implemented through project management. Supply chain management is a key function for organizations that manufacture a product (like Boeing), as well as those that offer a service (like Bank of America).
