A supply chain and value delivery network is a system of organizations, people, activities, information, and resources involved in delivering goods from supplier to customer. It includes all stages of production, from the sourcing of raw materials to the final delivery of finished products. At its core, it’s about finding better ways of managing flows of goods and services to maximize efficiency and minimize costs. It’s a complex system of processes, technology, people and strategies that must be managed carefully in order to achieve success and create a competitive advantage. By working together, everyone in the supply chain stands to benefit: manufacturers can improve their profit margins, retailers can increase sales, and customers can get access to better products at lower prices.
