How so?
Its a term that covers quite a large range of occupations but it still makes sense... You could call it Operations Management but then people often think it's mainly just the Manufacturing and the Material Handling side of the business which it isn't. It also covers Procurement and Logistics and thus, covers the whole supply chain of a company... hence the term "Supply Chain Management".
