THE NEW CLASSIFICATION OF SUPPLY CHAIN MANAGEMENT

Given the multitude of constraints, processes, resources and the specificity of the objectives, the number of variables to be managed in a supply chain (SC) requires that it should be considered as a complex system requiring appropriate modeling. In addition, the multitude of differentiation criteria for supply chain management (SCM) suggests a classification of SCMs that groups their similarities. We have classified SCMs into five types (commercial, digitized, green, warrior and humanitarian), which can be more or less long and complex depending on the internal interaction of their logistics units, or their interaction with the environment and other SCMs. Thus, for us, this classification is based on three criteria that will allow us to present a new typology of SCMs according to homogeneous sets, which will have an impact both for each chain, on the design visions of the "customer-supplier" relationship and on the evaluation of its performance. In this sense, our work is divided into three parts, the first part is a state of the art of the classification of SCMs. The second is intended to explain the similarities between the five types of SCMs and the particularities of each of them. And in the third part, we have presented a distinction of the performance evaluation criteria for each type of SCM according to the trilogy: "objective-constraint-resource"
