supply chain execution (SCE)
What is supply chain execution (SCE)?
Supply chain execution (SCE) is the flow of tasks involved in the supply chain, such as order
fulfilment, procurement, warehousing and transporting.
Supply chain management (SCM) is
sometimes broken down into the stages of planning, execution and shipping. Supply chain planning
(SCP)
and supply chain execution are the two main categories of SCM software. SCP software applications
apply algorithms to predict future requirements and balance supply and demand; SCE software
applications track the physical status of goods, the management of materials, and financial
information involving all parties.
