APICS Certified Supply Chain Professional (CSCP) — Question 45

Which of the following measures would be most appropriate for a supply chain focused on reliability as a competitive priority?

Answer options

• A. Production volume flexibility
• B. Total supply chain cost
• C. Supply chain response time
• D. Order fulfillment lead times

Correct answer: D

Explanation

Order fulfillment lead times are crucial for a reliable supply chain, as they directly affect the ability to meet customer demands promptly. While production volume flexibility, total supply chain cost, and supply chain response time are important, they do not directly address the reliability aspect as effectively as lead times do.
