Answer to Question 1

Supply chain visibility refers to the ability of a firm to monitor the output of its first and second tier suppliers, track and manage supplier orders, and manage transportation and logistics suppliers who are moving the products. When a supply chain is visible, you know when suppliers' products will arrive and you have accurate tracking of your goods. The benefit of a visible supply chain is that the firm can produce accurate production schedules and develop more accurate financial forecasts.
