Freddie's Sandwich Shop makes sandwiches to order, using the finest locally sourced ingredients. Freddie gets his bread from Country Bakes and the fillings for his sandwiches from Belle View Farms. Freddie's local approach has proved popular and many people now get their lunch from his shop. rather than from a branch of Wholegram Foods, which used to be the town's most popular sandwich shop.

Freddie is expanding his business to provide catering for local organisations and has just won a contract to provide sandwich lunches for UK Systems Limited, the local headquarters of a highly successful computer company. However, Freddie is worried about the poor wheat harvest and the effect this might have on the cost of his bread. He has also heard that UK Systems Limited has lost a valuable contract to an overseas competitor

If I recall correctly, inputs usually come from direct suppliers, so I’m leaning towards option B with Country Bakes and UK Systems Limited.

I remember a similar question about supply chains and how they impact operations. I think Belle View Farms might be relevant too.

I'm not sure if concerns about the wheat harvest count as an input. It seems more like an external factor affecting costs.

I think the inputs to internal processes would likely include suppliers, so maybe Country Bakes is a good choice.
