Overview
Supply chain management is frequently misconstrued solely as logistics, yet logistics represents only a fraction of this comprehensive concept. At its core, supply chain management (SCM) encompasses the complete oversight and coordination of goods, data, services, and products. SCM spans from the acquisition of raw materials to the ultimate delivery of a finished product to its designated endpoint.
Through strategic consultation and the utilization of tailored SCM software, enterprises can adeptly navigate procurement processes, manage product lifecycles, and devise effective supply chain strategies.
Why choose SolidCAD?
Various methods exist for managing products and projects, with Microsoft Excel being one of the most common tools used today. While Excel is useful, its limitations become evident as the number of projects grows and product lifecycles become more complex. Managing multiple Excel files becomes challenging, and manual searches for data and traceability become time-consuming.
