A supply chain consists of a network of individuals, organisations, resources, activities and technology working together in the creation of a product.
What is Supply Chain and what does it mean to SMEs?
SMEs journey along the supply chain and the opportunities large organisations can offer are often not aligned. Supply chain development is often over-simplified and seen as a procurement and distribution process.
For SMEs, supply chain development involves upskilling of internal business processes from human resources through to operational capacities. It is a business development journey that requires planning.
Supply chain development aims to provide SMEs with useful information through case studies, various interactive channels such as podcasts and webinars, broadcast of events and links to industry partners. In addition, there is a range of supporting information to take SMEs through the journey and a host of interactive tools to allow SMEs to engage with other businesses.
