Manufacturing And Services Operation

The creation of form value is a foundational responsibility for the supply chain. This form value is usually created through manufacturing and assembly operations for a company that sells tangible goods. For firms that primarily provide a service, the creation of form value involves the provision of services; operation is sometimes referred to as the center of the supply chain as it usually has upstream procurement operations or subassembly manufacturing as well as downstream logistics operations that buffer it from direct contact with the end customer.
