Oracle Fusion SCM (Supply Chain Management) is a component of Oracle’s Fusion Applications, which are a suite of enterprise-level applications designed to manage business operations more efficiently and effectively. As part of Oracle’s shift towards cloud-based solutions, Fusion Applications can be deployed in the cloud, on-premises, or a mix of both.

Specifically, Oracle Fusion SCM is designed to manage and optimize a company’s supply chain, including product lifecycle management, order fulfillment, procurement, and more. It provides an integrated solution to streamline various supply chain processes, manage the flow of goods and services, and improve collaboration among departments and partners.
