APICS Certified Supply Chain Professional (CSCP) — Question 92

A role-based entry into a company's system that aggregates all required sources of information into a single environment is known as:

Answer options

• A. a portal.
• B. a hub.
• C. a local area network (LAN).
• D. an extranet.

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A, a portal, because it serves as a centralized access point for users to obtain all relevant information based on their roles. Options B (a hub) and C (a local area network) do not specifically refer to role-based access or information aggregation, while D (an extranet) pertains to external access rather than a centralized internal resource.
