There are many advantages of SCM.
1. Minimum costs with better material handling
2. Improved Customer satisfaction with the right quality product & right time delivery of product in his hand
3. SCM improves the supplier & manufacturer relationship which leads to business growth.

I agree with Shubhada, and his third point. The main advantage is that it helps participants to see the whole chain and therefore to be better prepared to take appropriate decisions. This systemic approach changes the way people see the performance, and this changes their thinking and their behavior. Waste is reduced but it takes a big change in management maturity. This is the corner stone.
