Have you ever wondered where your clothes are made? Where your Levi's ever came from

or where your iOS device was put together? They likely came from far away, and this is

all due to efficient supply chains. First off, lets take an American Eagle shirt

you might have bought at your local mall. Where do you think it came from? China? It

was likely actually made here in this factory in Vietnam, shipped through Singapore in a

big container, and then trucked to your local mall.

Next, have you ever wondered why all of your zippers say YKK on them? That's because it

was likely manufactured by Yoshida Kogyo Kabushiki headquartered in Japan, but your zipper was

likely manufactured in this factory in the state of Georgia, USA where their largest

manufacturer is located. Are you still looking at your zipper?

of apple's suppliers located here just outside of Sao Palo Brazil.

So, what is supply chain? Supply chain is the process of getting a product from point A

to point B. With how advanced technology has become, there are more ways than every

to transport your product. Our goal s supply chain managers is to get your product into

your hands. Now, you might say, "How do we do that?" Well, it's easy. First we negotiate

with suppliers to purchase these raw materials. Second, we ship those materials as efficiently

as possible through trucks, ships, and trains. And finally, we do everything we can to make

sure your product gets to the store on time so you as a consumer can enjoy your product.

Why is this so important to you? Well, without it, you wouldn't enjoy that car that you are

able to drive or even that phone that you enjoy using. Think about it! Everything you

own is because of a company's supply chain, and without these supply chains, we would

have nothing. So, how does supply chain compare to other areas of business? Accounting - well,

it's the language of business with their income statements and balance sheets. Marketing,

on the other hand, is the promotion of business making sure our customers are aware of our

product with customer surveys, sales, and things like advertisements. So where does

that leave supply chain? In supply chain management, WE ARE THE BUSINESS. We source your product,

we make your product, and we deliver your product so you as a consumer can enjoy your

product. So what careers are available in supply chain

management? First, there are people who make deals and negotiate with suppliers to make

logistics. You could be a supply chain strategy analyst.
