Supply Chain Visibility (SCV) refers to the capability to track and trace components, parts, or products in transit from the manufacturer to their final destination. It involves the transparent flow of information regarding inventory status, order processing, and shipments across the supply chain, enabling organizations to monitor deliveries in real-time, predict supply chain risks, optimize operations, and ensure smoother collaboration between stakeholders.
