Supply Chain Compliance
Supply Chain Compliance Management
Supply Chain Management (SCM) compliance refers to the adherence and conformity of a company's supply chain activities, processes, and relationships with relevant laws, regulations, standards, and ethical practices. It encompasses a set of practices and measures designed to ensure that the entire supply chain operates within legal and ethical boundaries while meeting industry-specific requirements.
The absence of standardised work processes, clear policies, and defined procedures poses a significant challenge in the highly dynamic supply chain management environment comprising the procurement, warehousing, and accounts payable departments. The lack of clarity and structure not only hampers operational efficiency but also compromises risk management and compliance, ultimately leading to a deficit in organisational accountability and effective controls.
We draft policies and procedures within a set framework aligned to best practices. Certain essential policies and procedures commonly required within Supply Chain Management departments — also recognised as Procure-to-Pay — include the following:
- Supply Chain Strategy Policy
- Company Approval Framework
- Code of Ethics
- Procurement Procedure
- Preferential Procurement Policy
- Breakdown Procedure
- Codification Procedure
- Contract Procedure
- Supplier Management Procedure
- Warehousing Procedure
- Accounts Payable Procedure
