When it comes to manufacturing goods or services, organizations pay great attention to how they manage their operations. Without a good management system, delays and increased costs are inevitable. One key process in improving efficiency in production is the Supply Chain. Today, CPLINTER brings you valuable insights into the supply chain.

What is a Supply Chain?

The Supply Chain is the process of managing the production of goods or services. It involves sourcing raw materials, manufacturing, storing products, and finally delivering them to customers. The primary goal is to meet customer demands fully and efficiently. Each organization has its own structure and methods depending on the type of product or supply they are producing.

Key Participants in a Supply Chain

A supply chain typically involves five main stakeholders: Suppliers: Providers of raw materials

Manufacturers: Producers who transform raw materials into finished goods

Wholesalers: Distributors who supply products to retailers

Retailers: Sellers who deliver products directly to consumers

Customers: End consumers who purchase and use the goods

Components of a Supply Chain

Upstream Supply Chain (Before Production) This includes activities before the manufacturing process, such as sourcing and gathering raw materials, coordinating with suppliers, purchasing, and inspecting materials before entering the production system.

Internal Supply Chain (Production) This stage involves activities during production, where raw materials are transformed into finished products. This includes managing raw materials, assembling components, and conducting quality control.

Downstream Supply Chain (Post-Production) After production, the focus is on transporting and delivering the goods to customers safely. This includes packing, quality checks, and managing the distribution channels.

A well-managed Supply Chain system helps improve production efficiency, reduces delays, and minimizes costs.
