In my writing, I try to get clear on definitions. Traditionally, the definition of end-to-end supply chain planning meant: Forecasting based on order or shipment patterns. Translation of the demand forecast into planned orders to minimize manufacturing constraints. Let’s take an example. This is a post from LinkedIn today.

Where you get these from, or how you source them, can be a huge decision. Sourcing can seem overwhelming if you’re a brand or retail buyer not entirely sure what you’re doing, but it can significantly impact the quality, cost, and availability of your products.

My definition of a network is the bi-directional information exchange of manufacturing, procurement, quality, and transportation signals across multiple tiers of trading partners in a many-to-many trading partner information exchange with minimal latency. Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) does not meet this definition.
