Logistics integration objectives include responsiveness, variance reduction, shipment consolidation, and which of the following approaches?

Answer options

• A. Electronic data Interchange (EDI)
• B. Postponement
• C. Life cycle support
• D. Enterprise resources planning (ERP)

Correct answer: C

Life cycle support is essential as it ensures the product remains viable throughout its entire life span, addressing maintenance and support. The other options, while relevant to logistics, do not directly align with the specific objectives of logistics integration as closely as life cycle support does.
