Supply Chain Management (SCM) is a concept that is gaining in popularity and importance. However, there is lack of a universally accepted definition of SCM. Several different and competing frameworks  exist for SCM. There are  issues with terminology and there is relative lack of empirical evidence supporting the benefits attributed to SCM. The purpose for this paper is therefor to bring some clarification to the concept of SCM by exploring some of
the more prevalent SCM definitions, frameworks and terminology.
