SCM OF FEDEX

• Supply chain (also called value chain or demand chain), is the network of the involved companies, through upstream and downstream linkages, in the different processes and activities that produce value in the form of products and services in the hands of the ultimate consumer.

• For example, a shirt manufacturer is a part of a supply chain that goes upstream through the weavers of fabrics to the manufacturers of fibers, and downstream through distributors and retailers to the final consumer.
