1.0 INTRODUCTION

1.1 BACKGROUND OF STUDY

Supply chain management practices in most of the companies (both foreign, local and multinationals) have increased overtime. The effect is also seen among famers in order to achieve sustainability in Nigeria. Supply chain sustainability is the management of environmental, social and economic impacts, and the encouragement of good governance practices, throughout the lifecycles of goods and services.

The markets of fast-moving consumer goods (FMCG) with short product life-cycles create specific implications for the way companies are organized and function. The shift from the traditional mass production practices by labour to counteract uncertainties of demand fluctuations to markets of high variability and efficient customer response imposes a difficult managerial task for companies to reorganize their supply chain to avoid “stock-out events, with prompt response to market fluctuations” (Emberson and Storey 2006). Due to growing competition, companies also implement global sourcing initiatives what substantially increased amount of organizations involved into supply chain and therefore operational complexity (Seuring and Muller 2008). In addition to these developments which increase the complexity of supply chains and therefore managerial challenges, there is “the paradigm shift from firm-level to supply-chain level competition and the challenge of incorporating comprehensive sustainability goals into corporate behavior due to worldwide growing environmental and ethical awareness” (Gold, Seuring et al. 2010: p.238-239). Evidence are occurring that the field of supply chain management has achieved a critical point where wide implementation of sustainable business-to-business purchasing might become a dominant approach in company’s strategies and tactics (Jayaraman, Linton et al. 2005; Cruz 2008; Pagell, Wu et al. 2010).

In exploring contribution of supply chain management function to sustainability, Preuss (2005) referred to recent transformation of this function from simple clerical role of ensuring good price and continuity of supply towards strategic role of contributing to organizational competitive advantage. As supply chain function is responsible for outsourcing the external inputs, it is important in guaranteeing the supply quality, including compliance with sustainability criteria. “Seen from a life-cycle perspective, environmental initiatives are impossible without involvement of the supply chain management function” (Preuss 2005: p.124). In the light of the aforementioned changes and increased importance of supply chain management function in regard to environmental protection, effective and efficient management of firm’s relationships up- and down-stream supply chain, with focus on green practices, represents a significant challenge and recently starts receiving attention among researches (Bowen, Cousins et al. 2001; Vachon and Klassen 2006; Seuring and Muller 2008; Pagell, Wu et al. 2010). For instance, based on the literature overview Seuring and Muller (2008) have concluded that in recent years “academic and corporate interest in sustainable supply chain management has risen considerably” (p. 1699).

1.9 DEFINITION OF TERMS

Supply Chain Management

The supply chain encompasses all of those activities associated with moving goods from the raw-materials stage through to the end user."

Advocates for this business process realized that significant productivity increases could only come from managing relationships, information, and material flow across enterprise borders. One of the best definitions of supply-chain management offered to date comes from Bernard J. (Bud) LaLonde, professor emeritus of Supply Chain Management at Ohio State University. La Londe defines supply-chain management as follows: "

Supply Chain Management Departments

Company's Supply Chain Management department functions include

  • Inventory management
  • Transportation service procurement
  • Materials handling
  • Inbound transportation
  • Transportation operations management
  • Warehousing management

Moreover, the Supply Chain Management department is expected to increase its range of responsibilities, most often in line with the thinking that sees the order fulfillment process as one co-ordinate set of activities. Thus the functions most often cited as planning to formally include in the Supply Chain Management department are:

  • Customer service performance monitoring
  • Order processing/customer service
  • Supply Chain Management budget forecasting

On the other hand, there are certain functions which some of us might feel logically belong to Supply Chain Management which companies feel are the proper domain of other departments. Most difficult to bring under the umbrella of Supply Chain Management are:

  • Third party invoice payment/audit
  • Sales forecasting
  • Master production planning
