CONCEPTUAL DELIMITATIONS REGARDING SUPPLY CHAIN MANAGEMENT

Summary/Abstract: Activities within the supply chain transform raw materials and components in a product that is delivered to the consumer or user. Therefore, a logistics chain connects the various value chains within it. The value analysis usually applies to the entire supply chain. Any operation of the logistics chain should bring value and, as such, one must continually seek to obtain the same value for a lower cost. In reality, very often it is not difficult to determine the costs of each operation in the supply chain, but its added value. Therefore, determining the added value is an important concern, especially because an economy in one of the links of the chain can bring about an increase in another link, which is not necessarily a bad thing.
