"Lean supply chain touches all aspects of supply chain and logistics as defined by the SCOR model: plan, source, make, deliver and return," explains Paul Myerson, a professor of practice in supply chain management at Lehigh University and author of two books on lean supply chain, including "Lean Retail & Wholesale" (McGraw-Hill, 2014).

Myerson states that manufacturing is just one piece of the supply chain.
