...proper processes designed for supply chain management in any organization. In most firms, supply chain management refers to the ways logistics are handled in the company. Supply chain management is nothing but management of logistics and the process of eliminating general inefficiencies in the company. It refers to the processes of how the different suppliers and the whole network thereof are managed. The overall aim of supply chain management is to produce effective and efficient operations. The value of supply chain management goes up all the even more in retail chain organizations. This is due to the fact that every retail chain organization works with a number of suppliers at any given point in time. All retail firms have to make a conscious effort to integrate the logistics, distribution activities with the suppliers, and the manufacturer’s overall efforts. This study attempts to go through and systematically review the comprehensive processes for supply chain management in any retail chain organization. Also, it tries to undermine how the current technology and innovation techniques can be leveraged to improve the supply chain management processes and to make them more consumer-centric and efficient. This study has used the example of Wal-Mart, the leading global retail giant.
