An increasing number of firms are introducing the supply chain function into their organizations as a response to challenges faced in their current business environments. The role of this function is to provide a mechanism for the creation of supply chain networks which integrate material, information, and cash flows among independent organizational units that exists beyond the boundaries of a single enterprise (Boute et al., 2011). Supply chain management (SCM) seeks to improve the competitive performance of the entire network through the application of an integrated approach to the planning and control of material, information, and cash streams among its membership (Jabbour et al., 2011). Additionally, Fantazy et al. (2010) notes that SCM represents a significant change to the practice of business, while Ou et al. (2010) suggest that SCM is one of the most effective ways to improve business performance.
