QUESTION 1
QUESTION 1.1
When an organisation wants to improve their supply chain responsiveness, they need
to ___. select the correct answer below. Then you must explain why the other options
are incorrect.
[a] reduce supply chain relationships.
[b] use business process re-engineering.
[c] establish centralised warehouses.
[d] increase new product design cycles.
Answer: [b] use business process re-engineering.
Explanation:
Supply chain responsiveness refers to the ability to react quickly to changes in demand
or other variables that affect the logistics processes. To improve their supply chain
responsiveness, organisations need to use business process re-engineering (BPR),
which is a method of redesigning and streamlining the business processes to eliminate
waste, improve efficiency, and enhance customer value.
The other options are incorrect because:
[a] Reducing supply chain relationships may reduce the complexity and cost of
managing multiple suppliers, but it may also reduce the flexibility and agility of the
supply chain. Having fewer suppliers may limit the options and alternatives available
to respond to changing customer needs or market conditions. Therefore, reducing
supply chain relationships may not improve the supply chain responsiveness, but
rather increase the risk of disruption.
