In modern economies, the production of goods entails the coordinated effort of manufacturers, transporters and distributors spread across the globe. The symphony of actions, which delivers products to consumers, is called the "supply chain". For complex products, such as automobiles, the supply chain comprises a deep and intricate web, beginning with acquisition of raw materials, continuing with fabrication of parts and components, then assembly of these parts and components into finished vehicles, and finally distribution of vehicles through networks of dealers.
