What is SCM?

Youngland Computing, FAQ
SCM stands for supply chain management. It is the process of optimizing the shipment of goods and services from supplier to customer. The goals of SCM are to optimize production, decrease manufacturing time, minimize inventory, streamline order fulfillment and reduce cost.

A good SCM initiative gives visibility to all the players in the supply chain so that they are able to react to the order. The moment a retailer receives an order, the retailer's supplier also sees it. The supplier checks inventory. If inventory is low, a manufacturer - also with access to the system - produces more product and ships it to the supplier via a distributor that is also connected to the system. Meanwhile the supplier has sent the product to the retail for shipment to the customer.

What else can SCM do?

Techieindex.com :::::::::::: Tech FAQ
Supply chain management projects should also rethink the chain. Most businesses establish their supply chains around product lines. But today, customer orders touch multiple product lines and multiple channels of distribution. Modern supply chains focus on the customer - and on delivering one order at a time rather than moving one product line at a time. The focus has to be on filling, delivering and managing inventory for every order that a customer places.

Which plugins have StarTeam (SCM) support? How do they differ?

FAQs-1 - Maven User - Codehaus
maven-scm-plugin and maven-release-plugin support via maven-scm's API and maven-scm-provider-starteam. Release plugin is used to cut a new release of your project (label, build, assembly, deploy, etc.). SCM plugin, on the other hand, is for scm tasks. If you run 'mvn deploy', the 'maven-deploy-plugin' kicks in. There's no flag that tells it not to upload the file. So you'd have to make a new lifecycle mapping/packaging for each <type> of artifact in your project.

What do you have to be careful of with a SCM project?

Techieindex.com :::::::::::: Tech FAQ
When rolling out a project, companies must decide which customers and suppliers should use it first. That decision can be based on several factors. Here the salesman's "80/20" rule can apply: 20 percent of customers place 80 percent of orders, so companies should consider offering Web capability to that 20 percent of customers first. Consider the IT capabilities of partners and customers.

How do the SkillPort LMS and SkillSoft Course Manager (SCM) detect each other?

ACM Online Books and Courses - SkillSoft FAQ
The first HTML page after logging in to SkillPort checks to see if the SCM is installed on the client. If it is, then it will ping the SCM to attempt to synchronize any off-line course results from the client back up to the server. You should first see the browser's download dialog box as it attempts to process the SSO file, and then see an SCM dialog box that says, "Please wait while course results are synchronized...." If the SCM is not installed, then none of the previous should happen.

Why does the operating system recognise the SCM 301 as a JORWAY 73A during the boot process?
