0. Customer arrival
1. Customer triggers an order
2. Supplier fulfils the order
3. Customer receives the order
The supply chain is a concatenation of cycles with each cycle at the interface of two successive stages in the supply chain. Each cycle involves the customer stage placing an order and receiving it after it has been supplied by the supplier stage.
One difference is in size of order. Second difference is in predictability of orders - orders in the procurement cycle are predictable once manufacturing planning has been done.
This is the predominant view for ERP systems. It is a transaction level view and clearly defines each process and its owner.
