The importance of Supply Chain Management-Koichi Nishimura,CEO,Solectron,

Lutz:

Here is an article I found which sort of illustrate the importance of SCM.Interesting to see who is Solectron's biggest customers,you can see it on the right hand side of the article.
=========================
Excerpts.

Q: Why is contract manufacturing growing so fast?

A: The supply chain that we happen to be a part of is a time-based segment of the marketplace. People want what they want, when they want it, where they want it. Cheaper, faster, better. Consumers like you and me drive this behavior.

At the same time, product cycles in the supply chain are getting shorter and shorter. When you put these two phenomena together, many companies are forced to outsource. They can only focus on so many things.

The more sophisticated companies work on wealth creation and demand creation. And they let somebody else do everything in between.
