The correct answers are information sharing and trust. Further qualitative KPIs are listed on p.102. Deliveries in full and on time would be a quantitative KPI and early supplier involvement is not a KPI at all.

I recall something about adding value being a key criterion in another question, but in this case, I think delivery is the priority since they need the widgets urgently.

Meeting ISO standards could be important too, but I feel like if they can't deliver on time, it won't matter much.

Hmm, I'm not entirely sure about this one. I know we covered electronic software updates in class, but I can't quite remember all the specific components needed. I'll have to think this through carefully.

I'd go with low-cost widgets. The bottom line is what really matters, and the company is probably looking to save money.
