The supply chain encompasses all of those activities associated with moving goods from the raw-materials stage through to the end user.
The Supply Chain Management Program integrates topics from manufacturing operations, purchasing, transportation, and physical distribution into a unified program.

In addition to the departments within the organization, these partners include vendors, carriers, third-party companies, and information systems providers.|
