What is Supply Chain?
The supply chain encompasses all activities associated with the flow and transformation of goods from the raw materials stage, through to the end user as well as the associated information flows.
----Rob Hanfield, NC SU
A supply chain extends from your customer’s customer to your supplier’s supplier.
----Supply Chain Council

“The new supply chain game is becoming a competition between effective supply networks rather than individual corporations, and the gap between the leaders and followers is growing rapidly.”

“There is more to INTEGRATING a supply chain than building and harnessing the pieces!”
