Supply Chain Vertical Integration is a business strategy that seeks to streamline operations and optimize efficiencies through closer control of processes, materials, and/or services used in the production process. This model seeks to integrate activities such as purchasing, manufacturing, logistics, marketing, and customer service into one cohesive system under a single organizational umbrella. This approach allows for increased speed to market and cost savings through improved resource management and better shared information. By leveraging the experience and knowledge of each area, a company can become more agile and flexible, paving the way for greater long-term success.
