Difference Between SCM and OM
Sabari, India
"SCM is a specific part of operations management. It deals with all those links which are required for any goods/service to reach till customers like(tier 2 suppliers, suppliers, manufacturers, wholesaler, retailer and finally customer). In operations management all the operational activities will come like layout management, resource allocation, SCM, lean manufacturing, operation research related issues, TQM, Six Sigma etc." |

SCM Versus Operations Management
Caillaud, France
"While SCM is focusing on managing the flow of products from suppliers to end customers, operations management is more dedicated to internal organization, and not only managing material flow. However both are linked as they speak of similar concerns, and techniques." |

Operations Management versus SCM
Gaurav Jain, India
"SCM is a part of operations management. Operations is a broader concept including plant layout, forecasting, resource management and various other activities involved to increase the productivity of the organisation.
SCM focuses on the timely and quality delivery of the product/services to the customer." |

SCM versus Operations Management
Sabari, India
"- Operations management mainly focuses on in-house activities. How effectively you can utilize your limited resources can be one of the key operations activity.
- On the other hand SCM mainly focuses on integrating your suppliers with your mainstream business. It is one way very closely related to your B2B transactions." |

SCM versus Ops Mgmt
Kwakye Kwame, Ghana
"Operations management is concerned with reconciling the firms resources to meet market requirements. If we look at the value chain, this would include all supporting activities from your inbound to the outbound, and extending to the after sales as well. Supply chain management is concerned with the primary activities of the value chain. It coordinates issues from the upstream to the downstream but does not concern itself with the supporting activities. In my opinion therefore SCM is primarily concerned with the primary activities within the value chain whilst operations management is primarily concerned with the supporting activities in the value chain. Both of them integrates at the decoupling point of the primary and secondary activities to support the overall value chain." |

SCM versus Operations Management
Sabari, India
"SCM is defined as a philosophy of integrating various physical, informational, managerial, financial attributes required in transporting goods/services from vendors to customers in the most effective and efficient manner. In short the supply chain cost (all expenses incurred in managing your supply chain) should be the minimum.
Operation management on the other hand mainly concerns with all the day to day activities occurring inside the organization." |

SCM versus OM
Shahid Mahmood Ch., Pakistan
"Simply speaking, the efficiency of one or more operation(s) of a successful set-up mostly depend upon an efficient supply chain management.
SC is basically like a control room which is simultaneously manging power loads to various machines (say internal consumption) and input obtained from external sources. The SC phenomenon resembles a PLC which controls a process.
SC not only controls its internal operations i.e. buying new raw materials, distribution from existing inventory, and logistics. But also its feeds its internal customer i.e. production, planning and other internal users." |

SCM versus Operations Management
Marrocco, Vietnam
"The Supply Chain Officer typically reports to the Chief Operating Officer (COO) so that should give you some idea that supply chain is a function within operations management:
* Operations Management encompasses all of the resources necessary to plan, execute, deliver, and warranty products or services.
* Supply Chain Management encompasses the informational, physical, and financial requirements necessary for an “extended enterprise” (multiple levels of interfacing companies) to service the end customer. “Cost” and “value add” evaluations are appropriate as efficiency and customer facing metrics are applied." |

"Supply chain management is nothing but directly or indirectly involving all parties from the supplier till the end customer in producing and distributing a product.
Operations management is a concept of manufacturing goods or providing services." |

SCM versus Operations Mangement
Eugene, South Africa
"SCM is from the supplier to the end user.
Operations is very broad, just like SCM where you get it in manufacturing/production or in warehousing.
However SCM can also be used in operations as this also forms a chain." |

Difference between SCM and Operations Management
Thevyeshriee, India
"- Supply chain management comprises of the flows of goods, information or service from raw materials till the completion of finished goods as well as improving the efficiency of supply chain and cost reduction by interaction with the stakeholders(i.e. suppliers, manufacturers, distributors, retailers, customers). Simply we can say that supply chain management starts with the supplier and ends with the customers.
- Operation management starts with the entering of raw material into our facility until it come out as finished goods. It includes functions like planning (at top, mid and low-level), product development, packaging and designing..." |

Difference Between SCM and Operations Management
Conrad Capule, Philippines
"SCM is much broader than operations management. It covers the coordination of all the activities of various departments from the procurement of raw materials, processing, distribution, and delivery of finished products to the customer. Operations management focuses on efficiency and optimization of operating units. SCM focuses on coordination of activities in the value chain." |

Supply Chain Management (SCM)
Emmanuel Gumede, South Africa
"SCM is not only interdepartmental (operations, marketing, finance, etc.), but also interorganisational, as it seeks to integrate and coordinate supply of goods and services from their source of origin to their end customers.
The main activity is that of providing integration, firstly across departments within a firm especially operations and marketing; secondly, across organisations through logistics management." |

Supply Chain versus Operations Management
Richard Ahumibe, UK
"@Caillaud: Supply Chain Management is an aspect of Operations Management, because the Supply Chain function is one of the units of the Operations function - just as Production (i.e. shop floor) and Engineering Services are also sub-sections of the Operations function." |
