by Bowersox)
What is a supply chain? - ANSthe flow of materials, information, money, and services from raw
material supplies, through factories, and warehouses to the end customers. Includes the
organizations and processes that create and deliver products, information, and services to end
customers.
Product Flow - ANSusually involves movement of products from a supplier to a customer, and
also the back end process such as any customer returns or service needs.
Information Flow - ANSinvolves the flow of information on orders and updating the status of

Cash Flow (Financial Flow) - ANSconsists of credit terms, payment schedules, and consignment
and title ownership arrangements. The faster cash-to cash cycle, which just means customers
receive orders sooner and are billed faster is huge in companies.
Demand Flow - ANSprovides organizations the ability to better synchronize supply and demand
by detecting and understanding demand "signals" and making appropriate adjustments to
demand changes more effectively.
Supply Chain Management - ANSSupply chain management is the efficient and effective flow of
products/materials, services, information, and financials from the supplier's suppliers through
various intermediate entities out to the end user.
Supply Chain Operational Reference Model- SCOR - ANSA process reference model
developed and endorsed by the Supply Chain Council as the cross-industry, standard diagnostic
tool for supply chain management. The SCOR model describes the business activities
associated with satisfying a customer's demand, which include plan, source, make, deliver, and
return. Use of the model includes analyzing the current state of a company's processes and
goals, quantifying operational performance, and comparing company performance to
benchmark data. SCOR has developed a set of metrics for supply chain performance, and
Supply Chain Council members have formed industry groups to collect best practices
information that companies can use to evaluate their supply chain performance.
