ABSTRACT
This research was carried out to find out the challenges and the economic and operational impact of change on supply chain, including the options available to improve the challenges and create increased performance on the chain.
To drive home the study we focused on PHRC Limited in Nigeria. We also undertake a comprehensive review of current literatures in the topic area as to lay ground work for the study. We equally adopted narrative and descriptive methods in analyzing the data generated.
Through the study, we find out that supply chain faces a lot of challenges such as uncertainty in operations, inadequate or in some cases complete absence of technological input, effect of bullwhip arising from various fluctuations in demand and supply, poor benchmarking leading to improper supply chain monitoring etcetera, all these
