Answer to Question 1

Supply-chain management is a long-term partnership among channel members working together to create a distribution system that reduces inefficiencies, costs, and redundancies while creating a competitive advantage and satisfying customers. Supply-chain management encourages cooperation in reducing inventory costs, transportation, administration, and handling. Supply-chain management also speeds order-cycle times and increases profits for all channel members.
