The success of any business relies on having an efficient SUPPLY CHAIN, and this can only be achieved by effectively linking all aspects of the Supply Chain, to provide an overall process which flows smoothly. Teamwork and clear lines of communication between each department/individual in the supply chain is vital to enable a business to be successful, regardless of which systems are in place. DEM
