Fundamentals of the Supply Chain Process

Supplier

Suppliers provide raw materials, components and services to manufacture the final products.

Manufacturer

After receiving materials from the vendors, manufacturers start the process of transforming these components into the final product. Once quality standards are met, the company finalizes the products for distribution and sale.

Distributor

After the manufacturing process is completed, the distributor is responsible for the storage, handling, and transportation of the final products to various sales channels or directly to consumers.

Customer

The final step of the supply chain is when the customer gets the manufactured product of good quality.
