Supply chain management refers to the activities needed to manage the flow of a product, from purchasing raw materials to distributing to the end consumer, in the most economical way possible.
Supply chain managers ensure that a product moves from production to the consumer in a streamlined fashion. They oversee every stage of the production flow and monitor activities to ensure product delivery is on time and at budget.
Every product goes through a process that starts with the acquisition of raw materials and ends with consumption. Freight brokers work in the later stages of the supply chain, helping transport a finished product from its point of origin to the end user.
Freight brokers find carriers for shippers to haul their freight. They also assume financial responsibility in the shipping process by invoicing shippers, paying carriers and agents, extending credit and more.
