Supply Chain -Definition

All stages involved, directly or indirectly, in fulfilling a customer request

Includes manufacturers, suppliers, transporters, warehouses, retailers, and customers

Within each company, the supply chain includes all functions involved in fulfilling a customer request

(product development, marketing, operations, distribution, finance, customer service)

It involves dynamic and constant flow of information, products and funds between different stages and

stakeholders.

Customer is an most important and an integral part of the supply chain

A supply chain is typically consists of various sources and resources at various stages and hence we

may be right in calling it “supply network” or “supply web” more accurately.
