The answer is: outbound logistics.

Explanation:

  1. Outbound logistics: This involves the processes related to the movement and storage of products from the end of the production line to the end user. It includes activities such as warehousing, transportation, and distribution to customers. Since outbound logistics deals with the distribution of finished products to customers, it is not part of upstream supply chain management, which focuses on the earlier stages of the supply chain.

  2. Inbound logistics: This refers to the activities involved in receiving, handling, and storing raw materials and components that are brought into the company from suppliers. Inbound logistics is a key part of upstream supply chain management because it deals with the initial stages of the supply chain.

  3. Raw materials: Managing raw materials involves sourcing, purchasing, and ensuring the availability of the basic materials needed for production. This is a fundamental aspect of upstream supply chain management.

  4. Warehouse facilities: These are used to store raw materials, components, and sometimes finished goods. Managing warehouse facilities is part of upstream supply chain management as it involves the storage and handling of materials before they are used in production.

  5. Storage facilities: Similar to warehouse facilities, storage facilities are used to keep raw materials and components before they are needed in the production process. This is also a part of upstream supply chain management.

In summary, upstream supply chain management focuses on the activities and processes that occur before the production of goods, including the management of inbound logistics, raw materials, warehouse facilities, and storage facilities. Outbound logistics, which deals with the distribution of finished products, is not part of upstream supply chain management.
