It is interesting to consider the various "chains" used to describe the organization's business processes and how these "chains" differ from each other:

1. What are the main components of an organization's "supply chain"? What is the relationship between the organization's supply chain and its financial supply chain?

2. How does the supply chain differ from the value chain?

3. What do we mean by "supply chain management" and is this concept relevant to the financial supply chain? What is the set of relationships here? How do the relationships impact ERP design, implementation and management?
