Chapter 1. Getting Started with Oracle Supply Chain Management
Supply Chain Management (SCM) is a set of various activities in which raw materials are purchased and transformed into semi-finished or intermediate goods, which eventually become the finished goods. These finished goods are then distributed to the customer using the distribution channel. This complete cycle from supplier to customer is called the Supply Chain Management process.
As we can see in the Supply Chain Management process, all the activities are interconnected with each other. Therefore, for a smoother process flow, these activities should be clearly defined and all of them should have a proper Standard Operating Procedure, which ensures their smoother running.
Supply Chain Management is a set of activities through which we can arrange and integrate the stakeholders of the Supply Chain process, as follows:
Supply Chain activities are very important in any organization. However, at the same time, they are very hectic and time consuming as we have to keep a track of thousands of suppliers and customers. In the same manner our internal process of procurement, inventory, manufacturing, planning, scheduling, and distribution can also get very complex. It would be very difficult for us to manage these activities manually by using spreadsheets.
Oracle E-Business Suite gives us a complete solution to map our business process and performs different types of planning related to our business process and the management of our master data in the system, giving us a great ease of control over the process.
Supply Chain Management and Oracle E-Business Suite

Oracle E-Business Suite offers the following modules for the Supply Chain process:
