Summary
A supply chain involves various parties, e.g. suppliers, manufacturers, distributors, wholesalers, retailers, and customers These parties are involved directly or indirectly in the production process as well as in delivering finished products to the final users in downstream and upstream distribution (Mentzer, 2001).
