Supply Chain Visibility
The ability to track and monitor products and information throughout the entire supply chain, from suppliers to customers.
TECHNICAL DEFINITION
Supply chain visibility refers to the real-time, end-to-end transparency of product movement, inventory status, and information flow across all tiers of a supply chain, enabling stakeholders to monitor, predict, and respond to disruptions or changes proactively.
BACKGROUND
A supply chain is a complex logistics system that consists of facilities that convert raw materials into finished products and distribute them to end consumers or end customers, while supply chain management focuses on the optimization of the flow of goods within the supply chain's distribution channels to ensure efficiency.
