Supply Chain

A group of businesses and individuals responsible for the efficient production and distribution of products.

A supply chain refers to a group of businesses and individuals that are responsible for the efficient production and distribution of products to consumers. These chains can be likened to food chains, with the defining difference being that supply chains are built around businesses, covering everything from the processes required to find raw materials, to production, and even to the distribution of the finished products to consumers.

Supply chains are a common application of big data. As a result, they contribute to the development of effective and transparent businesses, and also boost the integrity of the delivery and exchange system.
