• “A supply chain consists of all parties involved, directly or
indirectly, in fulfilling a customer request. The supply chain
includes not only the manufacturer and suppliers, but also
transporters, warehouses, retailers, and even customers
themselves. Within each organization, such as a
manufacturer, the supply chain includes all functions
involved in receiving and filling a customer request. These
functions include, but are not limited to, new product
development, marketing, operations, distribution, finance,
and customer service.”
