Week 2 Assignment 2

While researching Supple Chain Management I gained a lot of information. Some information I have heard before and some brand new. The information I already knew like, “supply chain is a collection of activities a company uses to plan, source, make and deliver a product or service” was introduced to me in an easy to understand way. SCM is not going to be the most exciting topic; in fact I took a SCM class a long time ago in the summer and ended up dropping it because it was so boring to me.
