Introduction to Supply Chain Management

Chapter Chapter 2 in Issues in Supply Chain Scheduling and Contracting, 2014, pp 5-15 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract The term ‘supply chain management’ originates from an outlook issued in 1982 by the consultants Oliver and Webber (Oliver and Webber, 1982, reprint: Oliver and Webber, 1992). The first scientific articles to use this term were written by Houlihan (1985) and Jones and Riley (1985). As revealed in Table 2.1, since then there has been an enormous number of publications with this keyword (Burgess et al., 2006; Herrmann, 2010). However, on closer inspection it becomes apparent that many of the problems that are now assigned to the research area of supply chain management were in fact identified much earlier.
