Supply chain management can be adapted to suit different types of businesses by implementing strategies such as improving the distribution network, monitoring cash flows, establishing information conduits, and tracking inventory. The distribution network can be improved through a holistic approach or a cluster view, where essential parts of the distribution network are reviewed to understand how they work in sync. Cash flow control is an important tool used to improve supplier management, and it involves monitoring payment terms and conditions with various groups within the supply chain. Establishing proper information channels ensures that data is distributed promptly and properly to pertinent recipients.
