This section will introduce the role of ERP in assisting functions of the business that interact with the external environments and in the supply chain. If your company makes a product from parts purchased from suppliers, and those products are sold to customers, then you have a supply chain.

The complexity of the supply chain will vary with the size of the business and the intricacy and numbers of items that are manufactured. If a company expects to achieve benefits from their supply chain management process, they will require some level of investment in technology.
