[All L4M3 Questions]

You are to do the KPIs and targets for international supplier and the following was done

1. Delivery in an hour

2. Return orders in an hour

Is that a good thing or not?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: C

KPIs and the targets for supplier should be SMART:

- Specific: What exactly do you want to achieve?

- Measurable: How will you identify that you have achieved your goal?

- Achievable: Is your goal really attainable?

- Relevant: Is it relevant to you or, in other words, does it align with where you want to be?

- Time-bound (or timely): When will you deliver your goal, and what are the key milestones?

The two KPIs (Delivery in one hour, Return orders in one hour) are not realistic and achievable for international suppliers. Therefore, you should not put such high targets for supplier.

I recall a practice question where unrealistic KPIs led to supplier burnout. Maybe option C is the safest choice here.

I feel like local suppliers might have an edge in speed, but international ones could offer better prices. It's a tough call.

I think I read somewhere that high targets can drive improvement, but I wonder if an hour is too ambitious for returns.

I'm not sure if those targets are realistic. I remember discussing how KPIs should be achievable to motivate suppliers.

This seems like a straightforward question about the benefits of sensitivity analysis. I'll focus on identifying the key points that demonstrate my understanding of the topic.

Okay, let's see. Investigating performance issues using SQL Insights in LCS - that makes sense. But I'm not convinced a non-unique index is the solution.
