Question

A. Select the true and false sentences 1. You can increase responsiveness by increasing the number of facilities, making them more flexible, or increasing capacity 2. Increasing number of facilities increases facility and inventory costs, decreases transportation costs and increases response time 3. Inventory is needed when there is mismatch between supply and demand 4. Increasing inventory generally makes the supply chain more responsive 5. Level of Product Availability is The fraction of demand that is served on time from product held in inventory 6. All functional strategies must support one another and the competitive strategy 7. Increased implied demand uncertainty leads to decreased difficulty in matching supply with demand 8. One example of highly uncertain supply and demand is salt in the supermarket 9. Achieving Strategic Fit is by ensuring that the degree of supply chain responsiveness is consistent with the implied uncertainty 10. The primary goal of efficient supply chain is to respond quickly to demand 11. At the beginning of Product Life Cycle, margins are often high, and time is crucial to gaining sales 12. In Later stages of Product Life Cycle, cost is often a secondary consideration 13. The five basic levers to deal with uncertainty Capacity, Inventory, Time, Information, and price 14. One of barriers to increased focus on sustainability is insufficient return on investment 15. Not all "green" claims are valid and that is called Greenwashing

Answer 1

Answer: - - Twe: One can inuease responsiveness by increasing the numbee of docilities, making them more flexible, os 8 increasing capacity -> Truli Increasing the numbee of facilities inueases facility & inventory & Dcosts decreases transportation coste & increase response time. 37 True: -> Inventory is needed when there is mis match between supply & demand, to fulfill the Lorders & to support processes I de operations 47 Tue: I Increasing inventory denerally makes the supply chain more responsive. As there is sutlicient inventory present to meet demand, supply chain will be more responsive Ho provide timely oedees & smooth out the entire process I Note; I'm allowed to answer a questions of
