ABSTRACT
Most organizations are aware that they are likely to need multiple supply chains if they are to be successful. The one‐size‐fits‐all model is failing. The entry describes a methodology to “carve out” separate supply chains that have distinct designs and are justified by the organization's strategy for competing. The entry describes the concept in depth. It points out that there are both product‐producing and enable spheres. It encourages organizations to prune unattractive customer segments, customers, and products when initiating the process of identifying separate supply chains.
