Cost overruns? That's not a good sign at all!

Wait, how does less communication mean trust? Sounds off.

I thought missed deliveries were a sign of trouble, not improvement.

I remember that cost overruns usually indicate problems, so I don't think A is right. I feel like B and C make the most sense, but I could be wrong.

I practiced a question similar to this, and I think C is definitely a sign of improved trust. But for the second one, I’m torn between B and D.

I'm not so sure about B. I feel like missed deliveries could still happen even if trust is improving. Maybe C is definitely one of them though.

I think B and C might be the right answers. I remember we discussed how better communication and fewer missed deliveries show trust.

I feel pretty good about this one. Decreased missed deliveries and transparent decision-making are the two signs that indicate improved trust between the buyer and supplier.

This is a tricky one. I'm not entirely confident, but I'll go with decreasing missed deliveries and transparent decision-making as my best guess.

Okay, I think I've got it. Decreasing missed deliveries and transparent decision-making are clear signs that the trust has improved. I'll select those two options.

Hmm, I'm a bit confused. I'm not sure if cost overruns or less frequent communication are good signs of improved trust. I'll need to think this through carefully.

This question seems straightforward, but I want to make sure I understand the signs of improved trust between buyer and supplier.

But cost overruns and duplication of effort are usually signs of mistrust, not improved trust.

I believe A and D are also important indicators of trust.

I agree with Ilona, transparent decision making and decreasing missed deliveries show trust.

I'd have to go with C and B as well. Although, if I could add another option, 'supplier finally stops asking for advance payments' would be a good one too!

I agree with C and B. Anything that reduces the need for constant communication and oversight is a sign of a healthy, trusting relationship.

C and B are definitely the signs of improved trust. I'm surprised they didn't include 'supplier providing free donuts' as an option!
