What part of supply chain management is your favorite? I am partial to procurement, but I know some people prefer to work in warehouses.

I have to say that I am the purchasing girl, I love being part of this department of the supply chain, I have to say that I have been through them all and this is where I have felt most comfortable.

SHOPPING is the best department, it allows you to meet many new people and create important relationships.

I consider myself an introvert, so the warehouse is my favorite place in the supply chain.

My favorite area of the supply chain is logistics, Supply chains are unique networks between companies that deal with the production, shipping, warehousing, and delivery of products. These networks are very important to companies as they greatly affect sales and profits. However, without effective and well-organized logistics, supply chains cannot help your company gain a clear advantage over the competition.

I really enjoy working in procurement because it is always challenging to find the best supplier for our needs and to negotiate the best deal. I also worked with inventory and warehouse management systems not so long ago, and it wasn't awful either
