It has become an increasingly strategy especially in competitive business environment. This paper discusses the role of Outsourcing Supply Chain Management with particular focus on Nigerian Breweries PLC. Theoretically, the study is predicated on the Network Theory. Methodically, the study applied a combination of historical and descriptive research design methods. The sources of data collection were secondary and data was analysed qualitatively. One of the findings of the study is that supply chain in Nigerian Breweries starts from agriculture, that is, the raw materials source, then the malting, brewing, packaging, distribution to their customers and finally to the consumers. The study concludes that regardless of the reason, outsourcing succeeds when it is well thought out and done properly. It is recommended among other things that Nigerian Breweries should implement outsourcing supply chain by using a process-driven approach when outsourcing provides a systematic look at the 'how-to' details of developing an outsourcing plan.
