Cooper (1997) the term "Supply Chain Management" appeared in the early 90's and this term was introduced by management consultants. Currently supply chain management is a hot topic, interesting to discuss and even invites extraordinary attraction both from academics and practitioners. Supply chain management is defined as a set of activities (within an entity/facility) involved in the process of transforming and distributing goods from the earliest raw materials to the final consumer. Based on this definition, a supply chain consists of companies that transport raw materials from nature, companies that transform raw materials into semi-finished materials or components, suppliers of supporting materials for products, assembly companies, distributors and retailers who sell these goods to consumers.
