Global Supply Chains Basics

A global supply chain is the full path a product takes from raw materials to a finished item in a customer's hands, and today that path often crosses many countries: a single smartphone might use minerals mined in one country, components manufactured in several others, and final assembly in yet another before being shipped worldwide. Building a product this way can lower costs and combine different countries' strengths, but it also means a disruption in one link, like a factory closure or a blocked shipping route, can affect production everywhere else in the chain.
