- What it does
- Provides the physical hardware foundation for digital data processing, local storage, and human-computer interaction across an organization. This category encompasses the core processing units, displays, and interface peripherals that allow users to input commands and view outputs.
- How it flows
- Delivered as physical manufactured goods, such as laptop computers, external monitors, and keyboards, that are shipped to end users or IT depots. These are deployed as human-operated tools that serve as the physical interface for accessing software, networks, and computing environments.
- Summary
- Computer equipment and accessories flow from electronics assembly facilities as manufactured hardware, ship to enterprise IT depots or managed service providers, are dispensed to knowledge workers for daily use, and ultimately undergo e-waste decommissioning.
