Supply chain management in the public sector

Summary/Abstract: It can be argued whether the economization of public activity has dominated the decisions taken by the public, or is it only the beginning. However, the fact is that today many of the decisions of public organizations are undertaken in terms of the budget deficit. The public sector at various levels (state, voivodeship, district, commune) performs many tasks – from very simple (eg. issuance of the passport) to complex ones (eg. highway construction), spending huge sums of money. Financial shortfalls and the pressure of increasing efficiency make it necessary to make the best use of resources in accordance to the principle of economy. Therefore, public organizations striving to provide the desired level of benefits are increasingly turning to alternative forms of organization (eg. public-private partnerships) and funding sources. This means that the public organizations provide access to the benefits, but not always perform them themselves. And this causes changes in the (public) chain of value creation, because of an increasing number of participants in the chain. These changes provide stimulus to attempt to demonstrate that the concept of the supply chain management can provide a basis for conscious, based on the experience of economic practice, shaping of the public value, without having to concentrate exclusively on increasing efficiency, eg. reducing of the costs.
