What is IBM SCM?

Supply-chain-management software (SCMS) is the software tools or modules used in executing supply chain transactions, managing supplier relationships and controlling associated business processes .

The SCM Command Line Interface (SCM CLI) allows users to load, commit, and deliver changes from scripts . Used in conjunction with the RTC build infrastructure, release engineers have fine-grained control of every aspect of the build cycle.

IBM Blockchain supply chain solutions use smart contracts that automatically trigger when pre-defined business conditions are met . This gives near real-time visibility into operations, and the ability to take action earlier should there be an exception.

Supply chain management is the handling of the entire production flow of a good or service to maximize quality, delivery, customer experience and profitability .
