I feel like "Supply Stream" is too simple for this question. I lean towards "Supply Network," but I need to double-check my notes.

I’m torn between "Supply Net" and "Supply Web." They both sound familiar, but I can’t recall which one is correct.

I remember practicing a question about supply chains, and I think "Supply Web" was mentioned as a term for complex interdependencies.

I think it might be "Supply Network," but I’m not completely sure. We discussed something similar in class.
