The document is a master's thesis that examines the impact of supply chain finance (SCF) on corporate performance. SCF involves using financial solutions to address financial issues in managing supply chain value. The thesis studies how SCF improves supply chain efficiency through cost savings from optimized payable processes and extended payment terms. It analyzes how key performance indicators derived from financial supply chain management relate to corporate profitability ratios. Empirical analysis and a case study at Siemens provide evidence that SCF can increase return on capital and equity in the short term by decreasing costs of goods sold. The thesis establishes relationships between financial supply chain metrics and profitability using an economic value added model and regression analysis.
