"Supply chain management is the management of the flow of goods & services, and includes all the processes which transforms raw materials into final products. It represents an effort by suppliers to develop and implement supply chains that are as efficient and economical as possible and also involves the active streamlining of a business's supply-side activities to maximize customer value and also gain a competitive advantage in the marketplace. Supply chains also cover everything from production to product development to the information systems needed to direct these undertakings.
VCA or value chain analysis is a process where a firm identifies its primary and support activities which adds value to its final product and then analyses those activities to increase differentiation or reduce costs i.e. it's basically a strategy tool used to analyze internal firm activities and represents the internal activities a firm engages in when transforming inputs into outputs. The goal is to recognize, which activities are the most valuable to the firm and which ones could be improved to provide competitive advantage."
