Abstract

Efficient supply chain management is crucial for survival and success in a turbulent world. Current economic crisis increases its importance even further. The paper reviews latest findings in the most relevant areas, namely the importance of a proper supply chain strategy that is a pre-condition for business process renovation and mitigation of supply chain connected risks. Performance measurement is also a pre-condition for proper management. Supply chain frameworks and standards that provide guidelines in facing those challenges are reviewed. Finally, the benefits of supply chain informatization are shown.
