Supply Chain is a network of suppliers, retailers, and wholesalers, which move a product or service from a supplier to a customer. This sort of production moves the product from the production site to the site of final use. Supply chain impacts my life in many different ways today. For insistence, most of the clothes I wear are made in other countries. The material is a made in China, and then shipped to the United States; next the distributor delivers the finished product to different stores. Finally after the manufactured good is in the stores then I, the buyer can purchase the item. The same concept is illustrated in grocery stores. For example Perdue farms are located in Salisbury, Maryland. The chicken is raised, killed, and cleaned in Salisbury. After the chicken is killed and cleaned it is then distributed to different grocery stores. The two examples described above best explain of how supply chain impacts my life today.
