everywhere

How about the clothes you’re wearing?
Brought to you through a supply chain… that includes:
Cotton farmer
Textile, button, thread manufacturers
Shipper
Clothing manufacturer
Retailer
And more!

The coffee you had this morning…
Consider the various supply chains involved to provide you with:
Municipal water and electricity
Coffee beans
A filter
Cream
Sugar
A cup

To get the cream for that coffee?
You rely on, at least:
A farmer
A truck driver
A box manufacturer
A printer (for that box)
A dairy
A retailer

A visual guide to a supply chain: Making a bicycle Step one: Iron ore from the mine

Step two: make steel

And:

Step three: manufacture parts

Step four: assemble bicycle

Step five: sell product

And, all through the process:
