It's no secret that the field of supply chain management is thriving. Businesses all around the world have changed their strategies and, more crucially, globalization and competition have forced businesses to rethink how they operate profitably. It's a supply chain strategy that impacts every aspect of our lives, from our cars to our clothes to the food we eat. Today, the supply chain is as important as sales, marketing, and finance in many businesses. This is because there is a lot of variation in consumer demand, and products are available at a lower cost.
