Design Supply Chain

Design Supply chain

The design supply chain starts off with the customer who passes on the project using a design brief. This will contain all information on size, subject, purpose, images etc. the designer then works through the brief and keeps a contact with the customer for confirmation on different stages. the designer will then ask for a finalization of the project from the customer before sending the final piece to the printers.

the printers will be in contact with paper manufacturers and ink suppliers. this will be an on going communication.

The printers will then deliver the product back to the designers and this is then forwarded onto the customer.

the supply chain of design can vary depending on size of business and services offered. the designers may have their own in house printer and so will not need to outsource a print company and may have to be in contact with suppliers themselves.

a supply chain is crucial to a business as it ensures all parts of design are completed and keep to a company procedure.
