Supply Chain Management
Managing a Buyer's supply chain from sourcing and manufacturing to delivery.
General details
Supply chain management is a service that manages a Buyer's supply chain from sourcing and manufacturing to distribution and delivery. It is used to coordinate the flow of goods and information across multiple stages.
Process
The service often starts with sourcing materials or components from selected makers. Manufacturing is then arranged and monitored. Finally, distribution and delivery are organised to the Buyer's required locations.
Materials handled
Supply chain management can be applied to many kinds of products, including metal parts, plastic parts and electronic components. The materials involved depend on the goods being sourced and made.
Capacity
The scale a Seller can handle depends on their network of makers and logistics partners. Ask about the number of orders per month, the regions covered, and the ability to handle urgent shipments.

Quality control
This is a general guide to what to ask for, and it is not a statement from any supplier.
Ask for a certificate of conformance for the goods and a report on delivery performance. Check that documentation matches the order and that tracking is provided at each stage.
