Supply Chain Management Design is the systematic process of creating and improving an efficient, effective, and strategic framework for managing resources, processes, and stakeholders within and across supply chain networks. The design encompasses both long-term goals and short-term objectives to facilitate a unified approach to the optimization of materials, information, finances, and production throughout the lifecycle of a product or service. It also focuses on developing a customer-centric approach to ensure that customers’ needs are met with quality and speed.
