AB  - Researches focused on supply chains have gained relevance from 1990’s due to the opportunities
of adding value to the companies through SCM-Supply Chain Management. The correct understanding of
practices applied on this management is very important to obtain higher levels of performance in a supply chain.
However is important having the correct understanding between practices and SCM maturity since that the
adequate adoption of practices to each level of maturity can lead SCM to higher level of maturity and
consequently higher level of performance in the supply chain. Thus, taking into consideration that there is a
lack in terms of researches approaching this matter, this study will present the SCM practices which are aligned
with SCM maturity dimensions. Aiming to achieve the purpose of this research as a first step a systematic
literature review method was adopted in order to identify practices for SCM proposed in the literature. After
that a correlation between these practices and SCM maturity was proposed. Future empirical researches are
needed in order to get more evidences and validate the findings obtained on this first step of research.
