Supply Chain Management
Martec helps retailers improve supply chain efficiency. Supply chain management may be defined as:
"The
achievement of a pre-determined service level to
the customer by the effective management of all the
relationships in the supply chain".
The consumer is king. Consumers are won and retained by providing a
service that the consumer perceives as acceptable. Retailers cannot
provide this level of service at a realistic cost without an
efficient supply chain.
