Now grab your virtual compass and follow us to the heart of the discussion.
Think supply chains are boring.
Think again.
At Beijing's second cisce, everything from futuristic vehicles to sustainable hot pot seasonings is on display, providing that even logistics can be exciting.
I know the topic as well as the intro might confuse some people since supply chain industry is not something that we see every day in our daily life.
So let's explain exactly what is a supply chain or supply chain industry?
So the supply chain industry actually encompasses the process systems and organizations that involved in producing and distributing goods, basically every style, everything.
Before you get your products in your hand.
It starts with sourcing raw materials and extends through manufacturing, packaging, warehousing and delivery to the final consumer.
The industry involves various players including manufacturers, logistics providers, retailers and suppliers.
It's everything that happens to the product that you buy before you buy the product.
That's the supply chain.
