The Supply Chain Plan is a comprehensive strategy for optimizing the flow of goods and services from the point of origin to the point of consumption. It involves the coordination, arrangement and alignment of all activities involved in the production and delivery of products and services—from raw material suppliers all the way to end users. By taking a holistic approach to the supply chain, companies can improve efficiency, reduce costs, and ensure customer satisfaction. A successful Supply Chain Plan should also be forward-looking and anticipate changes in market demand, trends, regulations, and other external factors that could affect operations.
