SAP supply chain management (SAP SCM) deals with the management of information, finances and materials of a business as they move through the cycle of retailer to consumer via the wholesaler to supplier.
The process of supply chain management, and the job of any SAP SCM specialist, can be divided into three main flows:
The product flow
The information flow
The finances flow
There are numerous related modules that can be integrated within SAP SCM including SAP Advanced Planning and Optimisation (SAP APO) and SAP Forecasting and Replenishment (SAP F&R)
A SAP SCM Career
SAP SCM is closely related to Inventory management and Production Planning so your SAP career has room for progression into other modules.
For any individuals looking to seek a career within SAP SCM, a degree is less valued than an industry specific certification such as CPIM or CSCP in APICS or a certification in Sap or Oracle. Experience rather than a degree is far more likely to get you a job within SAP SCM. A certification in a major ERP software or APICS or ISM certification is technical enough and broad enough to help qualify the individual.
The current top 3 most common qualifications for SAP SCM professionals are; Degree, SAP certification and PRINCE2 Certification.
