In the todays’ world, supply chain and distribution play a significant role in the firm businesses. This research aim is to describe supply chain and distribution problems. The researchers have established many numbers of ontological models to describe their own perspective. The inductive approach is used for the development of theory process that begin with observation of particular instances and finds to build, establish generalizations about the phenomenon below investigation. As well as, deductive approach of research is used for process of theory testing, which commences with an established theory or generalization and finds to look if the theory is able to apply into particular instances.
