Abstract
The subject we are going to deal with is the supply chain of the consumer knife industry. In order to explore and present the supply chain of the consumer knife industry, we compared the European and American supply chains. To do so, we decided to select 2 representative companies on the European and on the American markets, to describe their supply chains and the reasons why they use such strategies in the fields of supply, production and distribution networks. The 2 European companies will be Opinel and Victorinox and the 2 American ones will be Buck Knives and W.R. Case & Sons Cutlery. Finally, we will compare all of the supply chains, explain the differences between them as well as their similarities and the reasons for them.
