When an organisation wants to improve their supply chain responsiveness, they need to _
[a] reduce supply chain relationships.
[b] use business process re-engineering.
[c] establish centralised warehouses.
[d] increase new product design cycles
Correct answer: option (b); business process re-engineering involves redesigning business
processes to improve productivity and responsiveness. In context to the question, it would
help improve the supply chain responsiveness of an organization through the redesigning
process of their supply chain management approach.
Option (a) is incorrect because reducing supply chain relationships would limit the number
of suppliers, leading to less flexibility in the supply chain, making it more prone to
disruptions and likely hurt responsiveness.
Option (c) is partially incorrect as centralised warehouses can only solve limited issues of
responsiveness such as stock management and availability but it may not improve the whole
supply chain's responsiveness
Option (d) is incorrect as it focuses on new product development and may not affect the
existing supply chain responsiveness. More importantly, new product design cycles are
longer compared to improving the existing supply chain, and would be less effective to
improve responsiveness.
