Answer 1

The answer to the following questions:-

1. E. All of the above

This is because the uncertainty in demand will cause the stick to either be out or oversupplied which would mean that it would be hard to match the demand, as well as stockouts and markdowns, are prone to occur.

2. Product development strategy.

This is because product development strategy will include all the phases of the product design and development.

3. D. At the lowest cost

This is because, from the two types of supply chains, the efficient supply chain focuses on low cost to the consumers while the flexible supply chain focuses on wider quantity and fast supply time.

This is because the cost is the intention of efficient supply chain and not responsive supply chain which is based on the product.
