today in an intense competitive environment and economic stagnation the only solution for an organization is to optimize the use of its resources.
thus the importance of the SCM function in our organization wich is becoming more strategic and vital greatness.

Strategic level - it use to be part of the operations but supply chain has grown so big now that it is now a seperate department away from operations

Any reduction in supply chain cost can reduce the total cost of the product.
as it accounts the most.
