One major performance outcome of a digital supply chain transformation is:

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: A

According to the CTSC Enterprise and Supply Chain Management (ESCM) manual, one major performance outcome of a digital supply chain transformation is fewer trade-offs between costs and customer satisfaction1. A digital supply chain transformation is the use of digital technology and digital content to improve supply chain performance2. It enables a flexible matrix of supply chain partners, instead of one upstream and one downstream echelon2. It also enhances information sharing, visibility, decision making, and responsiveness2. By leveraging digital capabilities, a supply chain can achieve higher levels of efficiency, agility, and innovation, while meeting or exceeding customer expectations1. This reduces the need to compromise on either costs or customer satisfaction, and creates a competitive advantage for the supply chain1.

C sounds familiar, but I can't recall if it was specifically tied to digital transformations. I need to think more about customer acquisition costs.
