Supply Chain Management implementation in the Spanish grocery sector: an exploratory study
by Cristina Gimenez
International Journal of Integrated Supply Management (IJISM), Vol. 1, No. 1, 2004

Abstract: This paper explores the integration process that firms follow to implement Supply Chain Management (SCM) and the main barriers and benefits related to this strategy. This study has been inspired in the SCM literature, especially in the logistics integration model by Stevens. Due to the exploratory nature of this paper and the need to obtain an in depth knowledge of the SCM development in the Spanish grocery sector, the case study methodology was used. A multiple case study analysis based on interviews with leading manufacturers and retailers was conducted. The results of this analysis suggest that firms seem to follow the integration process proposed by Stevens, integrating internally first, and then, extending this integration to other supply chain members.
