the term "supply chain management" was first coined by keith oliver in 1982. however, the concept of a supply chain in management was of great importance long before, in the early 20th century, especially with the creation of the assembly line. the characteristics of this era of supply-chain management include the need for large-scale changes, re-engineering, downsizing driven by cost reduction programs, and widespread attention to japanese management practices. however, the term became widely adopted after the publication of the seminal book "introduction to supply chain management" in 1999 by robert b. handfield and ernest l. nichols, jr., which published over 25,000 copies and was translated into japanese, korean, chinese, and russian.
