Human Capital Supply Chain refers to the integration of business planning, strategic workforce planning, staffing and recruiting processes and technology to enhance corporate productivity and profitability. Employing methods of common manufacturing and distribution supply chain management principles to Human Resources and Human Capita l, corporations create an end to end, human capital supply chain.

The concept consolidates 30 years of expertise by companies like Toyota, Wal Mart and Dell in total quality management , lean and strategic supplier relationships, and applies it to the Human Resources industry. The major aim when implementing a Human Capital Supply Chain is to reduce labor costs.
