"Supply chain is like nature; it's all around us …" – Dave Waters.
Supply chains are an integral part of our daily lives and grab more headlines than ever before. Supply chains involve a complex network of procurement, operations management, logistics, sales, and marketing that ensure the transformation of raw materials into finished products and their delivery to the end customer. Whether we choose to ignore, disregard, appreciate, or admire supply chains, it is undeniable that we cannot survive without them. Supply chains are what propel the human race forward, and the people behind these complex operations are the ones who make things happen.
