“Getting a product into the hands of a consumer is a complex process, involving multiple internal and external processes and companies along the way. Each player involved is overseeing its part in the process through several types of oversight, including supply chain management and operations management.
Despite some similarities, these are two distinct roles and processes. It’s essential for business professionals to understand how organizations use supply chain management and operations management to enhance efficiency and value, ultimately boosting profits.“

A solid understanding of supply chain and operations management are essential for running a successful enterprise in a globalised world that is completely dependent on smoothly functioning transnational supply chains and the small-and large-scale businesses that uphold them.
