SCM. Through its innovative education and outreach programmes but also its interactive galleries the Science Museum seeks to offer its visitors, particularly children, opportunities to learn and feel inspired. In fact, it receives more school visits than any other museum in the country. Through Grant-in-Aid funding the Museum provides teams of explainers to offer more effective interpretation through personalised human interaction: a key aspect of the soon to be redeveloped Launch Pad gallery, which gives children a chance to experiment with and understand scientific concepts. The gallery is due to open in November 2007, and will have improved accessibility and amenities, and deliver curriculum-linked content to a primary audience of 8-14 year olds. In 2009 the Museum will also open a new Science Gallery, which will strengthen its focus on object-rich galleries and the areas of cosmology, astronomy, physics and chemistry. During the last Funding Agreement period the Science Museum started the ‘Creative Canals’ project, in partnership with London Canal Museum and Xxxxxxxxx Lodge Settlement. This Strategic Commissioning project has been running since April 2003 and has just been awarded funding for one more year. Through dramatic interpretation, museum visits and trips down the Canal on a converted canal barge, the ‘Floating Classroom’, the project engages school children from disadvantaged areas along the Regent’s Canal in improving science literacy and learning about their locality. The value of the project was summarised by one of the local primary school teachers taking part in 2005: ‘The children got so much out of this project. It provided me with great curriculum links, and science and art ideas I could follow up in the classroom for the rest of the term. The team really made the whole three days a great success and lots of fun. Thank you very much.’ Wroughton The Science Museum in Wroughton offers innovative programmes providing large-scale, hands-on education experiences, in particular through partnerships with schools in the Swindon region. For instance, since 2003 the Wroughton education team has been working with Xxxxxxxx secondary school on a sustainable development project, acting as partners for its successful bid to attain science specialist status as well as helping its pupils design and build a garden. Furthermore, since 2004 funding from Strategic Commissioning has enabled Wroughton to form relationships with local schools and run educational p...

SCM. The Science Museum aims to deliver the best possible service to its visitors by following a 10- year master plan: a framework for development balancing both museological and commercial aims and objectives. The Museum aims, firstly, to provide innovative permanent displays for families; secondly, to develop and present successful international touring exhibitions; thirdly, to develop a range of commercial propositions in order to deliver income for NMSI; fourthly, to develop dialogue with visitors through exhibitions, events and first person interpretation; and lastly, to provide enhanced facilities for visitors and the Museum staff. Following these priorities will ensure that the Museum will demonstrate its relevance and value to the public. One of the ways in which it tries to open itself up as an institution is through its award-winning websites, Ingenious and Making Modern World, launched in 2004. They allow access to the collections, not only where previously it was not physically possible, but also by providing intellectual access, namely by opening up the meanings of the objects to a wider public. The Museum is also involved in a strategic partnership with the other museums and institutions in the South Kensington area through, which aims to create a unique cultural quarter around Exhibition Road. As part of the project the Science Museum will clean its façade, redefine its front concourse and provide new entrances to improve the accessibility and enhance the visitor experience.

SCM. A SC is a network of partners who collectively convert a basic commodity (upstream) into a finished product (downstream) that is valued by end-customers, and who manage returns at each stage (Xxxxxxxx and Hoek 2008). SCM is the combination of art and science that goes into improving the way your company finds the raw components it needs to make a product or service and deliver it to customers. Many firms are forced to implement SCM as a great opportunity to stay competitive in today‟s world of globalised markets. Many organizations have business relationships in order to avoid uncertainty and survive in the international business environment where companies are operating (Xxxxxxxx and De Rond 2000). Companies achieve economies of scope when they allocate resources optimally across products, markets, and businesses. As this occurs, producers integrate the overall key business processes for instance; demand planning, customer relationships management and procurement by forming alliances, partnerships and merger and acquisition with suppliers, distributors, and retailers. Economies of scale as applied in SC leads to both cost savings and gains in market power. An economy of speed leads companies to quickly respond to customer needs in the agile market and improve the SC performance through exchange of information between supply chain members. Top firms in the world recognize the need for applying SCM to stay competitive in today‟s world of competitive markets.
