Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: C

According to the CTSC Exam Content Manual, a good supply chain strategy should be tailored to the right level of complexity, which means balancing the trade-offs between efficiency and responsiveness, standardization and customization, centralization and decentralization, and integration and differentiation1. A good supply chain strategy should also align with the business strategy, customer expectations, and market conditions1. The other options are not necessarily wrong, but they are not the main criteria for a good supply chain strategy.
