Supply Chain & Procurement

 

What is a supply chain?

The supply chain spans from raw material providers, transportation, wholesale warehouses- the entire network of manufacturers, suppliers, logistics providers, and others who work together to get your product into the hands of a client.

The supply chain is every job and service that help move the product.

These responsibilities include quality assurance, marketing, procurement, and sourcing.

Supply chain differs depending on the company. It’s also crucial to note that procurement is only one aspect of the supply chain management process.
