DOI: 10.4018/978-1-6684-7298-9.ch010
Abstract
The concept of visibility is often associated with seeing everything that is going on across an entire supply chain. The following chapter takes a close look at the current understanding and practice of supply chain visibility to establish what it means and how the concept is applied in organizations today.
