Supply chain management is the flow of goods or services between businesses and various locations to get goods to consumers faster and at less cost. Supply chain management encompasses a thread of activities from design and manufacturing to delivery and operations.
Components to enable a resilient and sustainable supply chain management process are:
- Designing recyclable and sustainable products
- Delivering products with low carbon impact
