definition
In a widely used definition, Christopher (1998) describes a supply chain as the network of organizations that are involved via upstream and downstream connections in the various processes and activities of value creation in the form of products and services for the end customer.
The supply chain thus takes into account a company, its suppliers , the suppliers of the suppliers, etc. as well as its customers, the customers of the customers, etc. It should be noted in particular that the end customer is also part of the supply chain. In a narrow view, the supply chain is understood as a triad of direct suppliers, own companies and direct customers; This view lacks a holistic, integrating view from the raw material suppliers to the end customer .
