Supply Chain

A supply chain is a system of organizations, people, activities, information, and resources involved in moving a product or service from supplier to customer. It encompasses all steps from the procurement of raw materials, production processes, storage, and distribution to final delivery. The supply chain includes suppliers, manufacturers, warehouses, distributors, and retailers, all working together to meet customer demand efficiently. Effective supply chain management aims to optimise these processes to enhance productivity, reduce costs, and improve customer satisfaction. It involves coordination and collaboration among all entities within the chain to ensure a smooth flow of goods and information, ultimately leading to the successful delivery of products to consumers.
