A full set of integrated supply chain management processes must be tailored to align with the fundamental mission and strategy for a specific business. These processes address strategic issues (e.g. How to identify and establish strategic sourcing alliances), tactical issues (e.g. What amount of inventory is required to ensure high customer service levels) and operational issues (e.g. Which orders should be fulfilled today). Superior results are achieved when the full set of process are aligned and create a single organizational plan for demand and supply.
