supply chains

Supply chains are the networks of organizations, people, activities, information, and resources involved in moving a product or service from supplier to customer. They encompass the entire process of sourcing, manufacturing, and delivering goods.

Why it’s in the news: Supply chains are in the news due to increasing pressures from tariffs, a need for greater resiliency, and the adoption of new technologies like automation and quantum optimization.
