Supply Chain Management (SCM) is the art of overseeing and managing the flow of goods, data, and finances as a product moves from supplier to manufacturer to wholesaler to retailer to consumer. This skill set is crucial because it helps companies cut excess costs and deliver products to the consumer faster. Plus, a well-oiled supply chain can be a firm's ticket to a competitive edge – think less waiting for your favorite gadgets and more "wow, that was quick!" moments.
