Responsible Parties

The VP, SM, is responsible for ensuring that Postal Service supplying activities further the business and competitive interests of the Postal Service and for approving and issuing these Supplying Principles and supplemental guidance.

To assist the VP, SM, in carrying out these responsibilities, two cross-functional bodies provide advice and insight to ensure that Postal Service goals are met and that these Supplying Principles promote an efficient and effective supply chain. The Supply Chain Advisory Council (SCAC), comprised of Postal Service officers from across the supply chain, meets periodically to advise the VP, SM, on general supply chain issues, including these Supplying Principles. The Supply Chain Management Committee (SCMC), comprised of Postal Service executives, meets on a more frequent basis and makes recommendations with regard to the development, implementation, review, and enhancement of these Suppplying Principles and supplemental guidance.

The SM Infrastructure organization supports both bodies in their efforts.
