Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The term that best describes all of the organizations involved in moving goods from their source of raw materials to the ultimate consumer is the supply chain. The supply chain includes all of the functions involved in getting a product from its initial conception through its ultimate disposal, including sourcing raw materials, manufacturing, logistics, warehousing, and retail sales. It is a complex network of activities that requires careful coordination between each step in the process to ensure that the end product reaches consumers on time, at the right price, and in the desired condition. The other answer choices do not adequately capture the complexity and interconnectedness of the supply chain.
