A Survey of Classifications in Supply Chain Strategies

Abstract Supply chain strategies are used to show the companies competitiveness and the position in the market against their competitors. Companies that focus on a specific supply chain strategy are more likely to build shareholder value than those do not. This idea will call for a company in a supply chain to exercise specific strategies. Not all products need the same supply chain strategy. These supply chain strategies for any product or service industries depends on supply and demand uncertainty, product life cycle and manufacturing strategies. Hence, setting the right SC strategy is compulsory for companies competing in the market. In this paper different types of supply chain strategies are identified from existing literatures.
