Supply Chain Organizational Structure

oboloo’s Glossary

Supply Chain Organizational Structure is defined as the manner in which organizations align their processes, activities and people so that they may effectively and efficiently deliver end-products or services to their customers. This structure must take into consideration both the supply chain processes and the internal and external organizational dynamics; it should also include both short-term and long-term strategies with an assessment of the risks associated with any given structure. Overall, this structure will help shape an organization’s approach to its supply chain by providing a framework for decision-making, as well as guidelines for resource allocation, to ensure smooth operations.
