Abstract: Abstract Supply chain activities directly influence the cash-flow performance of organizations. For example, reducing the production lead time helps companies not only improve supply chain responsiveness but also generate revenues in a short time period. Companies can also employ different instruments (i.e. early payment scheme, reverse factoring, letter of credit and dynamic discounting) to finance their operations. While an effective operational strategy would have positive implications for cash-flow management, it may fail to generate sustainable profits if it is not coupled with the right financial strategy. In this chapter, we discuss the characteristics of supply chain finance strategies. We also present analytical methods to quantify their values for companies.
