Supply Chain Management Mind Map Overview

A supply chain management mind map shows how a product moves from raw material to the customer. It divides the subject into planning, sourcing, production, delivery and returns, and then links each stage to the partners, information flows and risks that affect it. Seeing these links together makes the whole system easier to understand than a long list of definitions.

  • Planning: demand forecasting, inventory targets and production schedules
  • Sourcing: supplier selection, contracts and procurement
  • Logistics: transport modes, warehousing and distribution networks
  • Information flow: orders, shipment tracking and data sharing
  • Risks: disruption, cost volatility and supplier failure

Use the map to revise each stage and to explain how a disruption in one place affects the rest. To make a version based on your own course notes, create your personalized map with CogniGuide.
