Success in supply chain comes from seeing the holistic view, and managing that to meet your objectives.
And if thinking about managing a world beyond the four walls of your enterprise gets you excited, working with multiple cultures, learning new languages and working48x7 (it is not a typo) does not scare you, then you’ve made the right career choice! The risks are high, but so are the rewards.

Let me tell you " This is a thankless job" Though each and everyperson need you when they are in a mess.
But you work will never be praise.
Nor you will be appreciated by Sales or Production team.
You will never get bonuses same or higher like Sales & Production Team.
Though you are the most needed person in the company.
And also one thing i forget to add..
you are the most needed person for accounts.
