Abstract

Supply chain management is a naturally difficult task due to participation of various economically independent companies. In turn, strategy planning and management processes in supply chain are more complicated than a single business. In the process of strategy formulation for a supply chain, it is necessary to consider benefit and abilities of all members. In this chapter, some models for supply chain strategy formulation are discussed, and the most applicable management paradigms of supply chain are investigated. In addition, initiatives, attributes, and appropriate conditions for implementing each paradigm are investigated. Hence, the purpose of this chapter is to give a viewpoint regarding philosophies and concept of supply chain management along with introducing and analyzing some paradigms and practices of supply chain management including lean, agile, leagile, resilient, and green paradigms.
