Supply Chain Network Mapping

Supply Chain Network Mapping is a process to create an end-to-end map that yields the connections, relationships, and dependencies between internal manufacturing and partner supplier sites. It is a critical factor in achieving supply chain visibility by identifying the multiple sub-tiers of an end-to-end supply chain. Supply chain network mapping should document the factors that can affect operations such as: • Supply chain partners with the highest spending levels affecting major value flows • Dependencies and interdependencies (including utilities and other critical infrastructure) • Single source suppliers • Upstream and downstream partners • Logistics, storage and transportation • Labour suppliers • Contractual and compliance requirements • Visibility • Sensitive internal information
