dc.description.abstractNowadays the quality of the products, customer satisfaction and customer’s fidelity are of most importance. However to commercialise a product it’s critical the “time to market”, so how can the small companies compete in the global market? And how can they work with the global players? We may think that to implement an organization into a Supply Chain Management (SCM) the companies must already be a global player (strong economic groups) and have a high developed dimension. Yet, smaller enterprises may still have many opportunities if they give significant importance to the “aptitude” to cooperate. Besides that, they must not only cooperate in business information, but also in technologies, capacities, and to take advantage of small gains to increase more and more business efficiency. The question that we will try to help the answer is: Is it possible to be a small company and participate in one or many global supply chains? We will see in this work that is possible but some procedures have to be implemented. Firstly this work intends to characterize the problem and then gives some orientations to prepare small /individual companies to work with the global “players”. It defines a process of change of the traditional logistics management for the supply chain management, and above all alert to the need to collaborate in information, technology and process management.pt_PT
