How to create a Supply Chain Diagram
To create a supply chain diagram, follow these steps:
01.
Set scope
Are you mapping a single product, a product family, or the whole network?
02.
Identify suppliers
Define where your raw materials or components come from, including specific regions or vendor names that matter for your operations.
03.
Determine manufacturing points
Clearly specify where production happens and any key facilities involved in transforming materials into finished products.
04.
List storage locations
Identify warehouses, distribution centers, or intermediate storage facilities where products pause between stages.
05.
Create nodes
Add boxes or shapes representing each component — suppliers, factories, warehouses, distribution channels, and end customers.
06.
Add connection arrows
Use arrows to represent the flow of goods between stages, showing how materials and products move through your network.
07.
Map distribution channels
Show all the different paths products take to customers (online stores, retail locations, direct sales, wholesalers).
08.
Review & share
Share the diagram with your team for logistics planning, risk assessment, or supplier negotiations.
