Expound on Hugos’ Five Areas of the Supply Chain in Relation to Your Organization

Hugos (2018) stated, “Companies in any supply chain must make decisions individually and collectively regarding their actions in five areas,” (p. 5) which are:

1. “production”

2. “inventory”

3. “location”

4. “transportation”

5. “information”

Looking at Hugo’s five areas, choose one area, explain it with an additional source (other than Hugos), and answer the question(s) each one must follow about the company or organization in which you work. In other words, describe the critical area, how it works in your organization, and what could be done to improve the operation of this key area. You may choose a company if you are not working or have a company to discuss.

Contributions must display original thinking and good knowledge of the subject matter, including links and references to sources to support your arguments. A minimum of three posts are required for each discussion (1 post and 2 replies). Additionally, make sure you cite sources you reference in-text and under a “References” section in APA format. Minimum of 250 words.
