How does the supply chain meet the organisational direction?

Does the configuration and behaviour of the network meet the wider needs of the organisation? Is it designed to best service customer needs (whoever the ‘customer’ is, be it stores or clients) or does it work simply to achieve the lowest supply chain costs at the expense of overall business optimisation?
Is the supply chain fully integrated with other functions within the organisation such as commercial, stores, operations etc.? Do departments work in isolation from, or in conjunction with, other functions?
Does the network have the capacity to handle business growth plans? If so, how far into the future? (This should always be longer than it would take to add extra capacity).
Does the supply chain work in collaboration with the extended / extra-enterprise actors in the supply chain such as materials and raw material suppliers, importers etc? How is information shared throughout the extended supply chain?
