The flowchart illustrates the demand for multi-tier supply chain management. It begins with the main box labelled "Demand for multi-tier S C M," leading to a diamond shape that evaluates "Traceability resources," with conditions set as "HIGH" and "LOW." Below this, another diamond labelled "Regulatory and industry pressures" also distinguishes between "HIGH" and "LOW" pressures. Next is the "Supply chain complexity" diamond, again categorizing into "HIGH" and "LOW" complexities. The pathway then leads to "Information sharing," which concludes with a "LOW" classification branching out to an outcome labelled "Indirect or Third party" and a "HIGH" classification leading to "Direct." Pathways are labelled with directional arrows, presenting a clear flow of decision points based on different levels of each factor. The layout uses a combination of diamonds and boxes to represent decisions and outcomes. Different classification levels (high and low) are visually emphasized in the triangle shapes.Framework on traceability and MT-SSCM
