SCM Problems And Lateral Thinking Process

Abstract

Innovation and revolution are need of the day in every walk of our life. We observe changes in our living style, eating habits, social life, communication methods and so on. It is also essential to modify our thinking process to meet today’s requirements. It is often observed that we are planning and thinking about our future (tomorrow) course of actions. However, I differ to this thought process. In my opinion, we could plan for what we should do today (present) so as to meet growing requirements of tomorrow (future). Over many decades, we have been doing Information Management and Knowledge Management. But it is not enough. We need to go for EM – Experience Management. In this review paper we shall examine two important aspects which may help us in solving SCM related problems and problems in general. These aspects are EM – experience Management and LT – Lateral Thinking.
