TLDR
In this paper, a theoretically-based planning process for a chain-wide planning process is presented in an Australian meat processing supply chain, with encouraging results, based on previous research.Abstract:
Planning processes for the operations of entire supply chains require examination because business competition demands coherent strategies from them. Research into processes for strategic operations planning has defined the steps and procedures required. Some research has partially addressed planning processes for integrated supply chains. The present research begins to specify a process and investigate how a team of managers from the companies in a supply chain can be helped to formulate strategic plans for operating the whole chain, to benefit each company and to benefit the whole chain. Building on previous research, this theoretically‐based paper proposes a framework to enable such a process. This chain‐wide planning process is illustrated in an Australian meat processing supply chain, with encouraging results.read more

Supply Chain Management: A Structured Literature Review and Implications for Future Research
TL;DR: The field of supply chain management (SCM) has historically been informed by knowledge from narrow functional areas as discussed by the authors, and while some effort towards producing a broader organizational perspective has been made, nonetheless, SCM continues to be largely eclectic with little consensus on its conceptualization and research methodological bases.
