Supply Chain

Supply chain is the process of moving goods from one location to another. In a supply chain, there are many different types of suppliers, each with their own unique role. The most common type of supplier is a manufacturer, who produces goods that are then sold to retailers. Retailers then sell these goods to consumers.

Other types of suppliers include distributors, who help to move goods from manufacturers to retailers; and logistics providers, who manage the transportation of goods throughout the supply chain.
