 Supply chains are made up of three primary flows, product, information, and financial. In a changing world where financial considerations are becoming more important for most firms, the supply chain literature has only begun to include financial issues beyond cost and revenue. Global supply chains have become increasingly complex and financial infrastructures are developing to support these increasingly complex networks of firms. As large manufacturers have tightened their supply chains, their suppliers have difficulty financing their operations to supply their customers. This difficulty of obtaining funding has severe implications on profitability, cash flow, and working capital and sometimes leads to bankruptcies and disruptions. Firms have had to develop methods to finance their diverse and sometimes underfunded supply base. Factoring and reverse factoring inventories and receivables has often been called supply chain finance, but the topic of supply chain finance goes far beyond those practices. Broadly speaking, supply chain finance is about how firms are funded through their supply chains and how they fund their supply chains.
