Supply Chain Mgmt

Business

End-to-end coordination of sourcing, production, and logistics; the key trade-off is lean supply chains (low cost, fragile) against agile ones (responsive, costly), while the bullwhip effect amplifies demand variation as orders move upstream toward the manufacturer.

Sources

This entry names a field of study, not a term an authority defines. There is no body that owns the meaning of a discipline, so there is nothing to cite in the way a regulation or a standard can be cited. The description above is this lexicon’s own summary of how the subject is generally taught and practised. Where a specific model, framework or figure inside the field has a traceable origin, that belongs with the individual term rather than with the discipline.
