The traditional local supply chain compared to a global supply chain is a matter of scale. Though with scale comes complexity. In the local supply chain the systems, processes, cultures, products, descriptions and languages are the same. When scaled globally, we operate across multiple boundaries affecting governance, language, culture, currency, and systems (computer and physical). Compare this to the costs of production and distribution - global procurement enables enormous diversity of choice though adds to distribution costs. Further manufacturers can tap into lower priced labour and raw materials to offset additional transport costs. Though global supply chains have been around for millenia: Marco Polo operated a global supply chain!

A global supply chain is, in simple terms, a comprehensive system which a business uses to move its products or services. Although this sounds simple enough, a global supply chain can be anything but. There are many facets of a global supply chain that need to be in sync- Employees, information and data sets required to keep the system running, resources used—and even the tools used by businesses to stay compliant with government regulations. All of these can be considered to be a part of a global supply chain. For more visit: agility(dot)com/en/core_services/supply-chain-logistics-solutions/
