Mohamed Salim Amri Sakhri

Supply chain management is a developing discipline because of its direct impact on business growth. Good supply chain management is a competitive advantage for these companies. They attribute several logistics practices to managing their supply chain network, such as controlling holding and transportation costs. Indeed, logistics can provide a better answer to analyze the different flows (of movement and information) between the different parts of the supply chain and reduce the costs involved. However, managing these costs separately creates problems. Therefore, the implementation of a collaborative system is necessary to achieve a global optimization of the supply chain.
