Supply chain management : some reflections to improve its influence in business Strategy

Abstract: Supply Chain Management (scm) is a nearly new discipline of management that can be seen in different ways. However, only a strategic approach of scm that leads to subsequent tactical decisions and operational implementation will provide the benefits that scm promises. A presentation of the evolution of scm from its beginnings as part of Operations Management (om) to an independent field in management has the objective of determining its correct scope. Therefore, this work examined papers where the research agenda of both om and scm —from the beginnings of these disciplines to these days— has been discussed, in order to show the evolution of scm as a field of high relevance in om. The strategic nature of scm and the importance of considering this discipline in such a way is emphasized, arguing that is a narrow view thinking of scm as directly related to logistics as its main focus, since this logistic vision creates a bias that limits the real scope of scm. In order for this strategic vision of scm to be correctly implemented, it is crucial to know both how the role and the profile of sc managers should be.

Resumen: el supply chain management (scm) es una disciplina reciente del management que puede ser abordada desde múltiples perspectivas. Sin embargo, solo un enfoque estratégico del scm, resultado de decisiones tácticas y su correcta implementación, permitirá alcanzar los beneficios que este modelo promete. Así, con el objetivo de determinar el alcance del scm, surge el interés de estudiar la evolución de esta disciplina desde sus inicios como parte de la gestión de operaciones (go) hasta su consolidación como campo independiente. Para ello, analizamos documentos en los que se ha discutido la agenda de investigación de la go y el scm desde sus orígenes hasta nuestros días, con lo cual se espera mostrar su evolución como disciplina de gran relevancia dentro del campo de la go. Este trabajo enfatiza la naturaleza estratégica del scm y la importancia de considerarlo de esta manera. Además, se argumenta que resulta limitado pensar directamente en la logística como el foco principal del scm, puesto que esta visión crea un sesgo que restringe su verdadero alcance. Para que una visión estratégica de este enfoque sea implementada correctamente, resulta fundamental definir el rol y el perfil del gerente de scm. Resumo: o supply chain management (scm, gestão da cadeia de suprimentos) é uma disciplina recente da gestão, que pode ser abordada sob várias perspectivas. Contudo, somente uma abordagem estratégica dele, resultado de decisões táticas e implementação adequada, permite atingir os benefícios que esse modelo promete. Assim, com o objetivo de determinar o escopo do scm, surge o interesse de estudar a evolução dessa disciplina desde seu início como parte da gestão de operações (om, em inglês) até sua consolidação como campo independente. Para isso, analisamos documentos nos quais a agenda de pesquisa de om e scm é discutida como uma disciplina de alta relevância na área da om. Neste trabalho, enfatiza-se a natureza estratégica do scm e a importância de considerá-lo dessa maneira. Além disso, argumenta-se que é limitado pensar diretamente na logística como o foco principal do scm, visto que essa visão cria um viés que restringe seu verdadeiro alcance. Assim, para que uma visão estratégica dessa abordagem seja implementada de forma adequada, é fundamental definir o papel e o perfil do gerente de scm. Résumé: La gestion de la chaîne d'approvisionnement (scm) est une discipline de gestion récente qui peut être abordée sous plusieurs angles. Cependant, seule une approche stratégique du scm, résultat de décisions tactiques et de sa mise en oeuvre correcte, nous permettra d'obtenir les avantages que ce modèle promet. Ainsi, afin de déterminer la portée de la scm, l'intérêt se pose d'étudier l'évolution de cette discipline depuis ses débuts dans le cadre de la gestion des opérations (om) jusqu'à sa consolidation en tant que domaine indépendant. Pour ce faire, nous analysons des documents dans lesquels le programme de recherche d'om et de scm a été discuté depuis sa création jusqu'à nos jours, moyennant quoi on espère montrer l'évolution de la scm en tant que discipline très pertinente dans le domaine de l'om. Cet article met l'accent sur la nature stratégique de la scm et sur l'importance de la considérer de cette manière. En outre, on affirme que penser directement à la logistique comme l'objectif principal de la scm est limité, car ce point de vue crée un biais qui restreint sa véritable portée. Ainsi, pour qu'une vision stratégique de cette approche soit correctement mise en oeuvre, il est essentiel de définir le rôle et le profil du manager scm. 2021-10-22T14:40:00Z 2021-10-22T14:40:00Z 2021 Artículo Arrendondo, C.R., Alfaro Tanco, J.A.
