You are analyzing the supply chain. A thriving global supply chain operation requires various business functions, including marketing, human resources (HR), and finance. Each
position contributes both individually and through collaborating across functions to execute the processes necessary to operate the supply chain.

How HR is directly or indirectly related to the supply chain
Why integrating financial services into supply chain management is about finding new opportunities for cost reductions
