This week the discussion question is going to be focused on global supply chains. Supply chains are an important part of any business because it does no good to make a great product if you cant get it to the customer. This is the main value of a supply chain, getting the product to the customer. Most people do not think of the complexities of this in a domestic supply chain, let alone a global one. I have provided two short videos that may help identify the complexities. Along with these, I have attached an article that may be helpful.

So, for the discussion question discuss some of the important things an operations manager must consider when designing/modifying a global supply chain.
