Description
Supply is an important topic which needs to be well researched for providing insight about the needed characteristics for fulfilling the customer supply needs. Researched topics are mainly focused on specific features of supply. This research is aimed at providing an understanding of the supply characteristics relevant to the 21st century. In order to understand these characteristics, journal articles relevant to the topic were researched and analysed. The study resulted in collating a supply definition which incorporates the various views of supply identified in the research. The study also proposed a hypothetical supply model that supports the new definition. Having a clear understanding of what is supply in the 21st century is crucial in order to be able to fulfill the customer needs. The world is changing and the importance of sensing and responding to customer requirements is becoming crucial. Sourced supplies will need to meet the evolving supply requirements which include things such as minimum impact on the environment. It is these supply characteristics which will decide if future supplies are going to meet the customer requirements.
