Why the Supply Chain Matters

Many examples currently exist of mature supply chains with a plethora of available tooling, as well as established relationships between suppliers and buyers focused on delivering high-quality products to end customers. One example is the aviation industry. It is heavily regulated and includes great risk to the health and safety of humans. Therefore, the provenance of parts that make their way into any aircraft is well documented and can be used to assess impact and origin when things go wrong.

Unfortunately, the same is not true in the software supply chain.
