SUPPLY CHAIN

Supply Chain represents the flow of materials, information, and finances as they move in a process from supplier to manufacturer to wholesaler to retailer to consumer. Supply Chain is the management of components, manufacturing, and distribution including warehousing and tracking inventory. Many organizations are looking to supply chain development and optimization as a means of gaining significant competitive advantages.
