Physically supply chain is what I have already experienced it, as a human being, we all consume products and/or services all the time. I will give example based on my daily life have done. Such as this morning you got up and ate your breakfast, e.g., eggs, milk, bread, fresh fruits. After the breakfast, drove my car to go to class. At class, used computer or by using phone. During my break, drank a cup of coffee and played with your iPhone. So on and so forth. I probably take it for granted that can enjoy all of these products. But if take a closer look at how each of these products can be made and eventually delivered to you, i will realize that each one of these is no short of miracle. For example, which fruit do you like? Consider fresh strawberries. In order for the strawberries to be on your breakfast table, there must be numerous functions, activities, transactions, and people involved in planting, cultivating, delivering, and consuming strawberries. Moreover, all of these functions, activities, transactions, and people are connected as an integral chain, through which physical products like strawberries themselves and virtual elements such as information and communication flow back and forth constantly. By grouping related functions or activities, we have a supply chain, comprised of four primary functions such as from the raw materials,supplier, manufacturer, distributor, manufacturer and finally consumer. A supply chain is essentially a value chain.
