EDGAR (SEC Filings & Forms)
Go to SEC EDGAR and search by company name. Select your company from the results list and then find its 10-K (annual report) in the list of filings. Click on the "documents" button and then click on the .htm or .txt file for the complete 10-K (look under the Type column for 10-K, usually at the top of the list). This will retrieve the entire 10-K or annual report. Use your browser's "find" command to search for the terms supply chain, logistics, purchasing, or transportation within the text.
