network of the involved companies, through upstream and
downstream linkages, in the different processes and activities that
produce value in the form of products and services in the hands of
the ultimate consumer.
• For example, a shirt manufacturer is a part of a supply chain that
goes upstream through the weavers of fabrics to the manufacturers
of fibers, and downstream through distributors and retailers to the
final consumer.
