Example for illustrative purposes: The two graphs below show a number of supply chain elements that a shirt manufacturer can influence (in)directly. The first graph refers to downstream processes; the second graph shows upstream processes. Supply chain management typically focuses on every level in the life cycle, from raw material extraction to end-of-life disposal. Robust analysis of environmental, social and economic aspects of the life cycle will reveal opportunities to reduce negative impacts and increase positive influences. Coupled with the right marketing approach, you are looking at creating informed and satisfied customers, developing new markets and better returns.
