Procurement Management. This paper discusses the future role of supply chain management. Building on this lively debate on the future role of supply chain management, this author would emphasize that it is particularly critical for corporations seeking to maintain competitiveness in the global marketplace as we enter the next millennium to closely examine the role of supply chain management. Furthermore, while most procurement management analysts are firmly bullish on the future role of supply chain management in providing a competitive edge - nevertheless, most believe achieving this edge will pose a major challenge for most companies. Finally, in addition to the changes that will need to be introduced, these organizations must also immediately begin looking at the exigencies involved in the supply chain function and seek to identify what particular actions may be implemented today to advance that vision. In essence, this means that a critical examination of supply chain design is essential to a firm's future prosperity and even survival.
