Suggested Answer: D

This is a facilitation payment. It's when a sum of money is given for 'helping to facilitate' a contract. E.g. a procurement manager may accept a facilitation payment from a supplier for selecting him to be a new supplier for a big contract.

In the UK this is definitely considered a bribe. It's also against the CIPS Code of Conflict

Looks like we need to channel our inner Marie Kondo and get rid of the supply chain clutter. Motion, waiting, and inventory - those are the real wastes that spark no joy.

I don't know, man. What if I just select all the options and hope for the best? That's how I got through my driver's license exam.

Hmm, I think C, D, and E are the obvious choices here. Over-analyzing and barriers aren't really wastes in the supply chain, are they?

Wait, are we supposed to be selecting the wastes or the things that can be removed? I'm a little confused here.
