Supply Chain
The network of organisations and processes involved in producing and delivering a product.
A supply chain encompasses the entire flow of goods and services from raw material extraction through manufacturing, logistics, and distribution to the end consumer. Supply chain disruptions — such as those experienced during COVID-19 — can severely impact company revenues and stock prices.
