Military supply-chain management

Military supply chain management includes sub-suppliers, suppliers, internal information and funds flow.

United States Department of Defense definitions refer to a "producer phase" and a "consumer phase": A supply chain is a set of linked activities associated with providing material from a raw material stage to an end user as a finished good.

As a single moving entity,[5] a supply point location is temporary and mobile, normally being occupied for up to 72 hours.

[7] The European Union refers to sub-suppliers in its objective to improve cross-border market access in the defence sector.

Unlike standard supply-chain management practices world-wide, some major concepts are not supported in the military domain.
