APICS Certified Supply Chain Professional (CSCP) — Question 437
Which of the following activities is necessary for a firm to transform their supply chains from a set of linear processes to a network of customer-centric companies that can easily adapt to changing market conditions?
Answer options
- A. Supply chain network planning
- B. Supply chain collaboration
- C. Supply chain aggregate planning
- D. Supply chain design
Correct answer: B
Explanation
Supply chain collaboration is essential because it fosters communication and partnership among different entities in the supply chain, enabling them to respond more effectively to market fluctuations. In contrast, supply chain network planning, aggregate planning, and design are important but do not specifically address the need for adaptability and customer-centric approaches.
