Supply Chain Management Test Question.

Question 1

Group of answer choices

SCOR was initially considered an opportunity for improvement but Cohen and Roussel include it specifically to demonstrate that it doesn't work in the current environment

Implementing SCOR at the company level adds value but extending it through the supply chain does not

As you move through the four levels you increase benefits from agreeing on parameters to improving structure to gaining better overall alignment so even just getting started adds value

Unless you achieve success on all four levels your efforts add no value

Question 2

When implementing lean into a process, one of the key aspects is the identification and improvement of bottleneck operations. Another way to approach this would be to:

Group of answer choices

Increase finished goods inventory levels

Increase raw materials safety stock

Dealing with the complexities of disrupted supply chains is most closely affiliated with being:

Group of answer choices
