A supply chain diagram maps the end-to-end flow of materials, information, and money from raw suppliers to the final customer. Typical stages include Suppliers, Procurement, Manufacturing, Warehousing, Distribution, Retail or Fulfillment, and the End Customer, with reverse logistics handling returns and recalls.
Operations managers, logistics planners, and procurement teams use a supply chain diagram to spot bottlenecks, single points of failure, and lead-time risks. It is especially useful when sourcing new suppliers, planning inventory levels, or stress-testing resilience against disruption.
