The manufacturing flow management is about physical handling of the products that must be controlled from the origin to the consumption points. In addition, procurement also plays an important role in the supply chain, which is according to Tieman et  al. (2012), to define and manage the upstream supply chain networks.  It  covers  purchasing  strategy,  selection  of  suppliers,  ordering, evaluating suppliers, and determining the specification
