What is the concept of Supply Chain?
A supply chain is a network connecting goods suppliers or manufacturers with companies and businesses. The supply chain occupies an irreplaceably important position for business enterprises, especially manufacturing enterprises. In addition, units in the forwarding, freight dispatching, and supply chain activities industries help provide goods to target customers and consumers quickly and promptly.
A complete supply chain is made up of 5 components:
1. Raw material supplier
Raw material suppliers are considered the most important component in the supply chain. Because this is the source of raw materials for the Enterprise's production activities.
2. Manufacturer
If we only have raw materials, we cannot sell them to customers immediately but must go through the manufacturer to produce the finished product, and then sell it to the end consumer. Raw material suppliers transfer materials directly to manufacturers, so these two components are extremely closely linked in the supply chain. If any component has a problem, the entire supply chain will directly affect the entire supply chain.
3. Distributor
After receiving the finished product from the manufacturer, we still cannot deliver the product to customers because the amount of products produced is very large. So we need more distributors in the supply chain. Distributors are responsible for taking large quantities of goods from manufacturers, transporting them and then dividing them into small parts for agents, usually supermarkets, convenience stores, grocery stores, etc. When retailing to consumers, only focus on selling in large quantities.
4. Retail agent
Retailers are a component one step below distributors. These Retailers import goods from distributors and retail directly to end consumers. As mentioned above, these retailers are usually supermarkets, grocery stores, convenience stores, etc.

5. Customers
Customers are the final component in the supply chain. Although they are consumers of goods, they are an indispensable part of the supply chain because they are the ones who bring revenue to the business.
It can be said that the above 5 components have individual purposes but have a close and inseparable relationship. If one of the above 5 components is missing, the supply chain will be affected and interrupted.
The importance of the Goods Supply Chain
Accordingly, in production, business as well as operating an enterprise, managers need to understand that the supply chain plays an extremely important role, it will help them:
- Operate the general production and business apparatus of the enterprise according to a unified routine and order;
- Avoid risks in management as well as production of products and services;
- Products and services that reach consumers are well received and responded to;

* Supply chain example:
To help you better understand the concept of what a supply chain is, the supply chain model, the role of the supply chain as well as supply chain management activities as well as related issues, we will give an example. specific supply chain example.
Currently on the market, we are no strangers to dairy products from famous brands such as Vinamilk, Dutch Lady, Vinasoy... So, have you ever tried to imagine how to create a product line? Products with such a famous and popular brand, what steps did the manufacturer have to go through?
It can be generally imagined that the first thing they have to do to get each product to consumers is to find
ingredients. Where do the ingredients come from? Normally, raw materials used to produce milk come from two main sources:
- From farms specializing in raising dairy cows.
- From imports in other countries.
That raw material will be purchased and brought into the production factory at a cost consistent with the initial estimate from the unit. The stages of production at the factory will form milk products.
However, for the product to be known to users, it requires marketing forces - brand promotion and product promotion. At the same time, this department needs to coordinate closely with the raw material receiving, production and transportation departments to ensure that when customer needs are met, supply will always meet demand, and dairy products will reach consumers. Used at the right time, at the right time, creating reputation and brand. That is exactly what Vinamilk as well as other large dairy companies have been doing in managing and operating their supply chains.
