If you are someone who shops regularly on online websites such as Amazon, you would be someone who is aware of the benefits that it offers. You can choose from a wide range of products and have them delivered right to your doorstep, many a times, at highly discounted rates. However, have you ever wondered about the entire Amazon supply chain – ever thought about how the product actually reaches you?
There is actually a long and often complicated process behind every small thing reaching your door. Let’s trace the journey of a humble watch that you have ordered from Amazon – here is all that it will go through, before it actually reaches you. The watch is manufactured and put up for sale with Amazon; the product will be on display on the website, where you will choose and purchase it. Before being put up for display, the watch will have been packed and stored in a warehouse. When the purchase goes through, the product will be located and marked to your address and eventually it will get dispatched to you. And in between all of these there will be several Amazon experienced supply chain experts, each one making sure that there are no problems in the entire process.
The entire process of supply chain management is one that ensures that from the manufacturer to the supplier, from the wholesaler to the retailer and finally to the consumer – each process is completely smoothly and without problems. The coordination and integration of all these procedures is what supply chain experts, manage on a day to day basis.
