Hi,

I'm trying to clarify the difference from todays exam in question 3 part b and c.

ie what is the definition of downstream and upstream supply chains?

I just want to make sure I got it the right way around so would be grateful for any input.

upstream suppliers

downstream customers

just google it

A supply chain is a chain along which a raw material moves along to become a finished good. A supply chain is also a value chain as value is added to the raw material at each stage to turn it into a consumable finished product. There are two streams which exist in any supply chain which are ‘upstream’ which means ‘from suppliers’ and ‘downstream’ defined as ‘to customers’.

upstream suppliers

downstream customers

just google it

I get no thank you???

I gave the answer first!

[Prajna B]

No issue!!! In fact he wants to know how 'upstream' & 'downstream' supply chains will be defined.:cool:

Question 3 of the P3 exam really let me down. I missunderstood part b and c Down sream and Up stream. The definitions were the other way round but the strategy was right. I hope i get some few marks from these two areas.
