Typical Supply Chain Management (SCM) Approaches

Supply Chain Management (SCM) refers to the strategic coordination of procurement, production, logistics, and distribution processes to ensure timely and cost-effective delivery of materials and systems ¹⁾. In the context of autonomous systems, SCM strategies must handle highly specialised components, short technology cycles, and stringent quality standards. The SCOR model, developed by the Supply Chain Council (SCC), is a widely used framework for designing and evaluating supply chains ²⁾.
