What is a supply chain?
A supply chain is a network created by a number of different companies, starting with a supplier, and ending with a customer.
Supply chains consist of activities, information sharing, and resources that transform raw materials into finished products that are used by end customers.
It can be as simple as going from the supplier to the customer, or it can be as complicated as going from supplier to manufacturer to distributor to retailer to customer.
Expression of Interest Process
To break into the supply chain it is critical to understand the Expression of Interest Process. Today’s global economy encourages competition, and successful suppliers make connections well in advance of a formal Expression of Interest (EOI).
Networking events and supplier sessions are opportunities to build relationships with key decision makers and illustrate competitive advantages. The most successful companies use all available resources to ensure they are ahead of the game, and awarded the final contract.
