Conduction in SCM


Heat transfer and Supply chain are closely interlinked.
HT concepts can be easily applied to Supply Chain.

In conduction the transfer of heat is sequential. Similar to the logistics chain.
The raw material is transferred to the manufacturing facility where in various processes takes place and it is finally transferred through the chain till it reaches the end consumer.

Thus logistics help in material movement.i.e the atoms/molecules help in the energy transfer from on end to the other.
