Subscription Economy

Subscription Economy is the Supply Chain Configuration Strategy that enables products and services to be delivered through a subscription model. Unlike with other Supply Chain Strategies/Business Models, the assets are not transfered from the Supplier to the Customer. This means that the customer moves these assets from a Capital Expenditure to Operational Expenditure accounting.

Subscription Economy is one of the five Supply Chain Configuration Strategies: Make-to-Stock (MTS), Make-to-Order (MTO), Engineer-to-Order (ETO), Reverse Logistics, and Subscription Economy.
