Supply Chain Management, 6e, Global Edition (Chopra/Meindl)Chapter 5 Network Design in the Supply Chain
5.1 True/False Questions
1) Supply chain network design decisions include the location of manufacturing, storage, or
transportation-related facilities and the allocation of capacity and roles to each facility.
Answer: TRUE
Diff: 2
Topic: 5.1 The Role of Network Design in the Supply Chain
AACSB: Application of knowledge
Objective: LO 5.1: Understand the role of network design in a supply chain.
2) Decisions concerning the role of each facility are significant because they determine the
amount of rigidity the supply chain has in changing the way it meets demand.
