What is Supply Chain?
Supply chain refers to the range of activities involved in delivering goods from their point of origin to the consumer. The first part covers the entire production cycle — from raw materials or components to the finished product — while the second part involves getting that product from the manufacturer to the distributor, retailer, and end user.
