Features: The essence of the supply chain is the extension of logistics management in depth and breadth. Supply chain management is the integration of management that connects the main functions and basic business processes within and between enterprises, transforming them into an organic and efficient business model. It includes all logistics activities mentioned above, as well as production operations, driving the coordination of marketing, sales, product design, finance, information technology, and other processes and activities within and between enterprises. In short, the supply chain is the integration of cross-enterprise logistics activities.
