The diagram below shows the typical stages of consumer goods manufacturing, including the process by which information is fed back to earlier stages to enable adjustment.

This

diagram simultaneously depicts the supply chain of fast-moving consumer goods manufacturing and the feedback loop of information. To produce goods which will be consumed by people, industries need to run the forward flow starting from researching the user demand through planning up to s. At the same time, they can have discoveries at each point of

this

value chain which they convey to relevant previous steps. In the manufacturing flow, at first research input comes to the design step. In the next step, a production plan is made with the help of additional data from storage about raw materials and other instruments. After ideating how the manufacturing will work, things are put in the assembly line and quality assurance is ensured through proper inspection and testing. Products are packaged after those steps and

finally

sent to sales points as ready-for-sales items.

On the other hand

, from sales teams, insight is provided to marketing teams for research and promotions.

Next,

this

market research data is fed to the packaging step.

Also

planning department gets information from the sales force to tune the production plan and transfer the message to storage.

Last

but not least, the design team receives feedback from the testing team to improve the orchestration.
