Abstract

Integration is the single most important and the most common concept associated with supply chain management. The idea of integration includes such notions as synchronisation and coordination of actions in order to speed up flows in a supply chain. The primacy of attempts at integration, without which other actions in the supply chain could not be carried out effectively and efficiently, needs to be stressed. At the same time, following Mangan, Lalwani and Bücher (2008, p. 250), it should be noted that supply chain integration is not identical with partner collaboration in the supply chain. Indeed, though an integration initiative may be accompanied by relation-based collaboration, something that will surely facilitate its implementation, partnership is not an absolute condition for process integration in a supply chain.
