It does not exist widely.
Even if, then it is not applied in a proper way into our society.
One of the main reasons is because no individual awareness for the organization's members about the Supply Chain or at least its concept, also no proper communication ''in general'' by the managment to apply and share this system or to show the interest to carry on. 

Last  5-10 years have seen a rapid change towards adopting lean concepts in supply chain processes - starting from procurement to manufacturing and warehousing to logistics.
In my management experience, we had gone over each and every function and gradually identified and centralized each process with a single point of contact to avoid wastages and ambiguity in the implementation of these processes. 
So, as per my knowledge and personal experience, companies are adopting lean concepts more agressively within each of their business units.
