A supply chain is the network of facilities to perform set of operations from procuring Raw material, transforming the raw material in to finished goods, storing them, distribution to the final customers and render the quality services through a team work of internal staff and External partners like suppliers, supplier’s suppliers and distribution channel members. The core supply chain we can describe as a relay game in which the participant or each players either the facility or an individual pass on the baton effectively from one to other until it reaches the final receiver- The customer.
