, So inputs → transformation → output → control
This will be asked in the exam.

Supply chain is impacted a lot and can impact the economy as a whole.
Why manage it? Because it is en process to operate en you need to find out how to utilize
everything.
Profit = revenue – cost
P = (p*Q) – C
We have to take into account the costs of everything and therefore manage operations.
Within operations there is only one business involved.
Supply chain
SCM as a management philosophy

(Customer-oriented)

involved. Synchronizing the system of all the business involved. Everyone is the system
provides or is connected by supply.

are involved in producing and delivering a product or service.
The sequence:
- Suppliers → … → Final customer
Facilities:
