Question: Finding another supplier for the ingredient can result in shrinking the lead time allowing Berry Beverages to receive the order in three weeks (not four);

Finding another supplier for the ingredient can result in shrinking the lead time allowing Berry Beverages to receive the order in three weeks (not four); thereby, improving the product delivery date. There is a risk that the alternate supplier will be unable to fulfill the order, the ingredient could cost more, or the quality of the ingredient fails to meet required standards. Do you stay with the original supplier that can not meet the deadline or find a new supplier to meet the required three-week deadline?
