Supply chains manage the movement of products from the acquisition of raw materials through production and finally distribution to the end user. A properly designed supply chain can create many opportunities to drive down cost and increase revenue opportunities. In order to create a supply chain that is sustainable and flexible it is necessary to identify and align company goals and initiatives with the manufacturing and distribution of products.

As I have completed a Bachelor of Technology in Mechanical engineering and worked as a supervisor in an Industry which generally deals in manufacturing of rice mills and flour mills, I really had to struggle against managing supply chain as it was very difficult for me without proper knowledge of Supply chain management in dealing with purchasing of raw material from suppliers and giving product to clients. I could not understand what clients were demanding and how to fulfill their demands. First of all a big thanks to CQ University providing its students to get knowledge on all important topics which are helpful in their future career and I am one of them.
