The document compares and contrasts supply chains and value chains. It defines supply chains as the integration of all procurement, conversion, and logistics activities for a product, while value chains refer to the series of activities that add value to a product. Supply chains focus on conveying products through the customer request-supply chain-customer sequence, while value chains focus on adding value through the customer request-value chain-product sequence. The objective of supply chains is customer satisfaction through minimizing costs and maximizing the right product to the right customer. Value chains aim to gain competitive advantage by beating competitors and fulfilling customer needs.

3. Suppliers Vendors
A supplier is a business or
person that makes goods
available to another business or
service. Suppliers are often
referred to as the first link in a
supply chain, existing strictly in
a B2B relationship.
A vendor is a business or
person who purchases products
from a company, then sells them
to someone else. They’re often
considered the last link in the
supply chain and can participate
in B2B or B2C relationships.
Vendors are typically in the
business of providing items that
can be inventoried, while suppliers
deal more in raw materials that will
be turned into something else.
In this comparison, vendor
relationships are usually focused
on price comparisons,
Supplier relationships are more
attuned with how the supplier
influences the quality of the
product.

businesses for the purpose of

5. Suppliers Vendors
Let’s say you’re a health-focused
restaurant that specializes in high-
quality, organic, made-from-scratch
meals. You’ve partnered with several
local farms to supply you with
ingredients that you use in your
kitchen.
These farms would be considered
suppliers, as your company is directly
connected to the integrity of their
products. The supplier is considered
a partner in the business, helping to
enhance your company image while
providing a mutually beneficial
relationship.
You own a restaurant and serve
several types of soda. You order
your soda from a vendor instead
of a supplier because mixing,
canning or bottling, and storing
your own soda is too much of an
expense and hassle to justify
doing it all yourself.
You probably have a contract
with a particular vendor to
supply your restaurant with all its
soda.
