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.
