Overview: The supply chain is the backbone of every manufacturing organization. It drives what, when and how much of a product is purchased, produced, distributed and ultimately sold.

A negative impact would result in an unplanned reaction that disrupts the supply chain, delaying or even impeding the goals of the corporation.
