Preparing the Next Generation
To Understand the Systems That Run the World
Supply chain is every step in the process of getting a product or service to the customer. It
touches almost everything students already know – food, clothing, medicine, phones,
transportation, hospitals, manufacturing, entertainment, and what happens after a product is
used.
The Entire End-to-End Supply Chain Is Under Pressure
Supply Chains for Good is helping change that.
