7 Principles of Supply Chain Management Explained

   
1 of 6

There is scarcely anything that has not been covered in this amazing article, illustrating the brilliance of Anderson, Britt and Favre.

It’s a must-read for anyone associated with Supply Chain Management and certainly warrants archiving as a reference point to stimulate and refresh thinking in this regard.

Background
In 1997, Supply Chain Management Review published one article called “The Seven Principles of Supply Chain Management” written by David Anderson, Frank Britt and Donavon Favre.

At that time, Supply Chain Management (SCM) was a pretty new term so this article did the excellent job to explain important supply chain management principles in one shot.

More than 10 years pass and this article is considered the “classic” article and got republished in 2010, and again in 2013.

As of now, it got more than 160 citations from both scholarly articles and trade publications.

The following section will show the summary of 7 principles in infographic form and I will discuss if the concept from 1997 is still relevant to current business environment.
