• Key Concepts: 
  A supply segment is a component of the IS-A-S2L Production Supply Chain. It is a way of organizing the supply chain into distinct parts, allowing for better control and management of the supply chain. The supply segment is divided into three parts: the source, the destination, and the link between them. The source is where the goods are sourced from, while the destination is where they are delivered to. The link between them is the route that the goods take to get from one place to another. 
  
  How to use it: 
  The supply segment can be used to manage and control the flow of goods in a production supply chain. It allows for better tracking of goods and their movement, as well as better control over inventory levels. It also allows for better forecasting of demand and supply, as well as better planning for future production needs. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When setting up a supply segment, it is important to consider the different types of goods that will be moving through it. Different types of goods may require different routes or different levels of control. It is also important to consider how long it will take for goods to move through the segment, as this will affect inventory levels and production planning.
