Supply chain design is the systematic and strategic plan for optimizing the flows, networks, and activities involved in the sourcing, production, delivery, and return of goods and services for procurement. It involves creating a framework that optimizes relationships between all components of the supply chain to ensure efficient, cost-effective, reliable, and timely operations. The goal of supply chain design is to develop an integrated and agile network that meets customer demand while achieving organizational objectives such as maximizing profit or minimizing risk. Supply chain design requires analysis of multiple factors including customer demand, market trends, technology advances, pricing models, vendor capabilities, resource constraints, geographical features, government regulations, environmental impact, and supply chain performance metrics. By understanding how each element impacts the overall system, organizations can create a supply chain design that drives business success.
