Abstract: Supply chains play a critical role in determining an organization’s financial performance. This project aims to quantify the financial impact of supply chain activities by analyzing key financial metrics such as cost of goods sold (COGS), inventory carrying costs, cash conversion cycle, and transportation expenses. The study examines how improvements in supply chain efficiency—through better demand planning, inventory optimization, and logistics coordination—can directly influence profitability, working capital, and return on investment. Using financial and operational data, the project demonstrates the linkage between supply chain decisions and financial outcomes. The findings emphasize that effective supply chain management is not only an operational necessity but also a strategic driver of financial value and long-term business sustainability.
