A pipeline represents the planned, continuous throughput of goods, information, and funds flowing through sequential stages of a supply chain—from origin to final destination. It functions as a single monitored process where each phase (procurement, production, storage, transport, delivery) is interconnected. Freight forwarders and logistics operators use pipeline analysis to identify bottlenecks, ensure supply reliability, and optimize lead times.
