2. supply chain. The main entity in this text is the Supply Chain. It is an essential process in business that entails the movement and conversion of raw materials into final products that reach consumers. This process involves multiple stages, including sourcing materials from suppliers, manufacturing products, distributing them through various channels, and selling them to customers. Managing this process efficiently, known as Supply Chain Management, is critical for businesses to save costs, improve customer satisfaction, and respond swiftly to market changes. It is also becoming increasingly important to consider social responsibility and security regulations in supply chain management. The supply chain process is subject to different types and models, and its performance and resilience are key factors for success. Technology adoption, sustainability, e-commerce, and data analytics are emerging trends in supply chains, while global uncertainties, balance between efficiency and responsiveness, transparency, cybersecurity, and skills gap pose significant challenges.

Le terme demand chain has been used in a business and management context as contrasting terminology alongside, or in place of, "supply chain". Madhani suggests that the demand chain "comprises all the demand processes necessary to understand, create, and stimulate customer demand". Cranfield School of Management academic Martin Christopher has suggested that "ideally the supply chain should become a demand chain", explaining that ideally all product logistics and processing should occur "in response to a known customer requirement".
