APICS Certified Supply Chain Professional (CSCP) — Question 495
The customer who provides point-of-sale data remains the sole decision-maker regarding order quantities when what type of inventory strategy is used?
Answer options
- A. Continuous replenishment
- B. Advanced continuous replenishment
- C. Vendor-managed replenishment
- D. Quick response
Correct answer: D
Explanation
The correct answer is D, Quick response, as this strategy allows the customer to maintain control over order quantities based on real-time sales data. In contrast, Continuous replenishment, Advanced continuous replenishment, and Vendor-managed replenishment involve varying degrees of supplier influence in the ordering process, which can reduce the customer's decision-making authority.
