Supply Chain Optimization (SCO) on the other hand is a systematic and mathematical approach that supports optimal choice with a global visibility. Accordingly, SCO plays an important role for decision -makers in various industries in that its results can provide guidelines for the optimal planning or execution of supply chains.
