Supply Chain Strategy Or Design

The document discusses various aspects of supply chain strategy and design. It describes how supply chain design decisions determine the structure of the supply chain by establishing locations and capacities of facilities, products made at each location, transportation modes, and information systems used. These strategic design decisions must support overall business objectives and are long-term and expensive to change. The document then discusses supply chain planning, which establishes short-term operations policies based on the supply chain configuration, and supply chain operations, which focuses on implementing operating policies over short time horizons with less uncertainty.
