Supply Chain

A supply chain is a network of organizations, people, activities, information, and resources involved in the production, handling, and distribution of goods and services. The supply chain starts with the raw materials or components that are used to create a product, and it ends with the delivery of the finished product to the consumer.

The supply chain includes a wide range of activities, such as sourcing, manufacturing, warehousing, transportation, and distribution. The supply chain is a key factor in the efficiency and effectiveness of a business, and it can have a significant impact on the cost, quality, and sustainability of a product.

Supply chain management is the process of coordinating and optimizing the activities of the supply chain to maximize value and minimize risk.
