What is supply chain management?
It is the linkage of
organizations in order to
meet some strategic goal.

supply chain management
is to foster
trusting relationships
whereby the partners
are more valuable

in January was 7%
and in February it was 6%
it is called disinflation.
It is like a balloon
expanding in
size but at a reduced pace.
If the rate of
increase is negative
i.e. the price is
actually falling over
time, it is called deflation, in
this case the balloon
is reducing in size.
Of course many
prices rise and fall
all the time as best seen with
commodities traded
in world markets
such as crude oil, natural gas,
gold, aluminum,
wheat, sugar etc.
Inflation is particularly
problematic for
businesses and the general
public when it affects
prices over a wide
range of markets for
raw materials, subassemblies,
final goods and services.
Why? Because it is hard to
