[All CSCP Questions]

The question below is based on the following flowchart:

Which of the following phrases most accurately describes the complete flow of demand information?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: C

The flow of demand information in a supply chain starts with the customer, who initiates demand for products or services. This demand information then moves upstream to the manufacturer, who needs to know the customer demand to plan production and control inventory. From the manufacturer, the demand information continues upstream to the supplier, who provides the raw materials or components needed for manufacturing. Therefore, the complete flow of demand information is accurately described as moving from the customer to the supplier.

I practiced a question that emphasized the importance of customer feedback, so I’m leaning towards option B, but I could be wrong.

I’m a bit confused about the direction of the flow. I thought it was from supplier to customer, but that doesn’t seem to fit the context of demand information.

I remember a similar question where we discussed how demand signals travel, and I feel like it might be from customer to supplier this time.

I think the flow of demand information usually goes from customer to manufacturer, but I'm not entirely sure if that's the right choice here.
