  • Descrição: Supply chain management in small and medium-sized enterprises is aimed at ensuring both short- and long-term effectiveness and efficiency of these enterprises. Management practically ensures that small and medium-sized enterprises, as dynamic, self-controlled, controlled and open systems, adapt to the operating environment, which is inherently dynamic, open and stochastic. Traditional approach to management of small and medium-sized enterprises is associated with overstocking and providing excessive capacity as a means of protection against demand variability. Owing to the possibility of rapid and major changes in the marketplace, this approach presents a great risk with potential adverse effects. Contemporary approach to management of small and medium-sized enterprises implies that these enterprises operate following the "feel and react" principle, as opposed to the traditional "produce and then sell" principle. A fast response to the demand variability requires efficient solutions for all elements that constitute the supply chain: demand management, planning, procurement, warehousing, production, transport and distribution. For these very reasons, there is a need to address the issue of supply chain optimization, inasmuch since every organizational system wants to utilize the synergistic effect of a whole and be as efficient and effective as possible. As the synergistic effect depends heavily on both the strategy chosen and managerial decisions made by the managers at the operational level during adjustment of work processes, they are requested to make decision closely tailored to the entire organizational system. Taking the above mentioned problem into account, a growing number of researchers have recently been asking questions and searching for a solution on how chosen strategies and managerial decisions made by the managers at the operational level during adjustment of work processes may contribute to enhancement of effectiveness and efficiency of the entire enterprise. Key words: Supply chain, SMEs, efficiency, effectiveness
