COMPONENTS OF THE SUPPLY
CHAIN:
            The supply chain has four basic components:
1.Production – Businesses focus on how much to
produce, where to produce it and which suppliers to
use.
2.Inventory – Businesses decide where to store their
products and how much to store.
3.Distribution – Businesses address questions about
how their products should be moved and stored.
4.Payments – Businesses look for the best ways to pay
suppliers and get paid by customers.
 Elements of the Supply Chain
1.Structures - these are the organizational units within the
supply chain that interact. They include a company, its
suppliers, its customers, distribution channels, design
and engineering centers, manufacturing and service
centers.
2.Processes - the operational activities that transform
inputs into outputs. These can involve demand and
supply planning, forecasting, sourcing, purchasing,
manufacturing and service operations, logistics, order
entry, materials management, and new product or service
development.
3.Linkages - connecting process to structure via
communication, usually in the form of shared information
and continuous communication
