Abstract

Over the last few decades, the concept of Supply Chain Management (SCM), whose main goal of achieving simultaneous cost reduction throughout the supply chain and a perceived increase in value of the product/service, has emerged worldwide as one of the most promising areas of business management. The main objective of this chapter is to present to the international audience a broad panorama of the current situation of SCM in Brazil, such that the reader can increase his/her knowledge concerning some key issues that characterize and/or influence it. Both positive and negative issues are described and analysed from a macro perspective. Additionally, this chapter highlights some cases of successful implementation of SCM practices in Brazil. Due to the scope and contemporaneous nature of the theme, the research design uses an exploratory approach with reference to some case studies. Most data reported in the text were obtained as part of a broader ongoing research project on the identification and analysis of best SCM practices currently implemented in Brazil. Additionally, a framework was developed with the aim of illustrating the logic of the development of the chapter. The text points out that Brazil contains many positive aspects for successful SCM, but some negative issues still remain to be addressed, so that the country can manage its supply chains more effectively, and most of these negative issues are the responsibility of government.
