Abstract
Now, Supply Chain Management (SCM) is paid attention to enthusiastically. However, recognition on SCM has very various meanings, and that causes confusion. From now and then, that will be able to be an obstacle in studies and discussion about SCM, hurting development of SCM. Thus, we need to have something to put the recognition in order. That is a goal of this thesis. To write this thesis, literatures on SCM had been broadly reviewed. As a result, recognition on SCM is fallen into two classifications. One is narrow SCM that have only logistical functions. Other is broad SCM that focuses on supply chain processes, have not only such functions.
