are all involved in the process of moving a product or service from the supplier to
the customer.
With a supply chain, there are usually an entire network of different entities that

consumer
So that question demonstrates you have a thorough knowledge of what a supply chain
is and how
important it is to the effective operations of an organization.

Tell me one thing you like the most about supply chain, and one thing you dislike?
There will be some things within any role that you dislike.
The one thing I like the most about working in supply chain is the fact you get to
work
The sheer nature of supply chain means if one thing goes wrong, it can have a

supplier,

So, that shows that your respectful, but more importantly, you're not afraid to
