Abstract: Abstract What is a supply network and why are they so important for companies and business managers? Supply networks allow us to look at the big picture; giving us a better understanding of the flow of materials and information (Dust, Process and cost potentials through Total Supplier Management. A study of the degree of implementation and the contribution of supplier management to safeguarding competitiveness and corporate success. 11/2009, pp 1–35, 2009). Often organisations focus only on their organisation, that means what they produce or provide and not what the end customer receives. Looking at a supply network enables firms to look at the overall movement of materials and information from start to end customer, allowing organisations to see the value in creating partnerships. The value in working together to ensure the best possible value is provided to the end-customer.
