By now, I hope that you recognise that supply chains are all around you. The challenge to you as a cohort of learners who are completing this course, is to pictorially build the supply chain for one or all (you decide) of the following products:

Mobile telephone
Car
Coffee

What we would like you to do is to try to find images that map the end to end supply chain for the product(s). From the materials being extracted from the ground, or seeds being produced to the different ways that the products are re-used or recycled at the end of life.

(2012) supply chain in coffee industry can be divided into two categories: vertical integration and fragmented networks. Global companies such as Nestle and Maxwell House utilise vertical integration supply chain in order to achieve greater level of profit margin and to be able to monitor the quality of the product.

Fragmented supply chain, on the other hand, involves dealing with specialised network actors such as growers, roasters and local traders in a direct manner with the aim of establishing strategic relationships.
Illy relies on fragmented SCM and the company has initiated a range of programs in order to motivate suppliers to provide high quality raw products. For example, ‘Premio Brasil de Qualidade do Café Para Espresso’ award established in 1991 aims to encourage producing quality coffee through offering significant monetary prizes.

Illy has adopted effective logistics, production and distribution practices as a core of its competitive advantage.

TO NOTE:
- Logistics links each step in the process by transporting (land, air, sea), storing (warehouse, containers) and distributing materials and products to the next in the "chain".
- The chain is driven by the demand from right-to-left, as such, the money flows from right-to-left
- It is not only at the end of the "chain" that the product may reverse the flow. At any stage where there is a customer/someone to demand, the product or material can be returned to the tier/stage below.
- At each stage of the SC there are environmental, social and economic impacts that should be managed by all along the chain. All the demands have created the SC and therefore created the impacts.
