Describe the basic elements of a supply chain for a cell phone producer (e.g., Apple or Samsung). How does this supply chain differ from the supply chain for a clothing item such as a t-shirt?

What will be an ideal response?


A successful answer should identify the elements of each supply chain (suppliers, manufacturer/assembly, and retailers). The answer should also contrast that a cell phone is made from components (assembled) while a t-shirt is manufactured from raw materials.
