Managers have to define and align business processes through the adjusting these systems in accordance with changes inside and outside the supply chain. They make decisions in the context of different methodological perspectives, primarily agile and lean supply chain management based on collaboration among its business entities. The concepts and components of the business finance system must be also defined. The features of the implementation of financial instruments and financial resources to ensure the goals and objectives of the supply chain are under consideration.
