Supply chain

You may identify and address any one problem within this theme. Here is an overview to help you get started on potential problem statements.

The supply chain is an organized network that moves products from their points of origin to customers and involves a network of people, businesses, resources and technologies.

Some crucial components of the supply chain include:

Warehouses:
  • Manufacturing warehouse: Where the product is manufactured 
  • Storage warehouse: Where the manufactured/procured items are stored
  • Distribution warehouse: Where the stored goods are distributed
  • Stores: Last-mile retail stores situated closer to a customer’s location
Transportation:

  • From suppliers and manufacturing plants to storage warehouses
  • From storage warehouses to distribution centers
  • From distribution centers to stores
  • From stores to homes
