raw materials needed to produce the product, create the inventory, and
sell the product to outside markets.
“Overall, supply chain is sourcing and moving both the raw materials and the
finished product.

Operations management is the part in the middle where the product is

created from the raw materials.

Supply chain is how you get it and get it to customers. Operations is how you
make it,”.
