The 5 or 7 Rights of Logistics and Supply Chain Management

	          		The main aim of SCM is a continuous supply of materials at 5 "rights" (5 Rs) which are:

1. The Right Place

2. The Right Time

3. The Right Quantity

4. The Right Quality

5. The Right Price

This can be done efficiently if a company has all of the following 3 flows arranged properly:

1. Cash Flow

2. Material Flow

3. Information Flow.

													Hello Anuj, I agree totally with the 5 Rights, but I learnt there are two more Rights, do you know about them?

These 2 Rights added to the existing 5 Rights making them to 7 Rights according to some professionals, any idea?

				                The 7 Rights in Logistics (7 R's)

													I found a list of 7 R's mentioning the following extra R's in SCM / Logistics:

6. The Right Product

7. The Right Customer

The list also mentioned Right Condition, but that I believe that one is included in The Right Quality?

I am not sure however if they add much to the 5 mentioned by Anuj if we focus on continuous supply of materials...
