For this assignment, pick a supply chain management sub-topic that relates to F & B functions. Research a peer-reviewed supply chain management article or paper, something that might be of interest to a manager of a medium size organization of restaurants, bars, or clubs. Topics can include: forecasting, procurement, distribution, or inventory. You want to describe it, how it works, why it is important, and how it is best managed.

Describe them and discuss their significance and how they relate to other functions, assets, and/or capabilities.
