What is supply chain?
A supply chain is defined as the entire process of making and selling commercial goods, including every stage from the supply of materials and the manufacture of the goods through to their distribution and sale. Successfully managing supply chains is essential to any company hoping to compete.
Supply Chain Roles:
CPO - A Chief Procurement Officer (CPO) is an executive role within the supply chain, focused on sourcing, procurement and supply chain management for a business. A CPO will focus on costs, ensuring they remain under control and constantly looking for ways to reduce them.
CLO - A Chief Logistics Officer (CLO) manages the transfer of goods or services that a company offers to facilitate smooth operations. They will ensure the correct products are shipped in accurate quantities within the established timeframe, and will also provide logistical support to senior management in relation to challenges the company may face.
(SCM) -Supply Chain Manager - A Supply Chain Manager works closely with external partners and suppliers to produce the product, create inventory and sell products to outside markets. They will evaluate suppliers and negotiate contracts with vendors. Supply Chain Managers are often considered similar to Operations Managers, who take a more internally-focused approach to operations.
