Bowersox (2009) defines the supply chain as “a strategy that integrates all aspects of satisfying customer requirements”. It means that virtually no element of the supply chain is totally independent.
Therefore when we change one element, it has a profound effect on the others. For example, a decrease in production batch size will have an impact on the inventory and plant utilization.
