Supply chain management is the integration of activities that procure materials and services, transform them into intermediate goods and final products, and deliver them to customers.
The production, distribution, and sale of both goods and services are bound by constraints in demand, supply, capacity, capability, and a myriad of other parameters.
In this assignment, consider the strategic implications of how an organization produces and interacts with its partners, customers, and suppliers.
