[All L4M6 Questions]

Sandra is a buyer for a large supermarket and has been increasing unhappy with the performance of a long-term supplier of bananas. Over time the deliveries have become unreliable and this has had impacts on the supermarket's profitability. What should Sandra do first?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: B, C

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 feel like giving written notice to the supplier might be too hasty. Maybe she should get business approval to terminate the contract first? That seems like a safer route.

I practiced a similar question where the focus was on assessing the current supplier's performance before making any decisions. I wonder if Sandra should gather more data first?

I'm not entirely sure, but I remember something about needing to develop an exit strategy first. It seems risky to just jump into finding a new supplier without a plan.

Based on the information provided, I think the Architect should focus on the Product-Detail controller. It has the highest total time, which suggests it's the main bottleneck in the system.

Hmm, this looks tricky. I'm not sure I fully understand how the forwarding classes are mapped to the different packet characteristics. I'll need to review that part of the material again before attempting this.

Option C is the way to go. Gotta do your research before you 'split' from the supplier. Pun intended!

Haha, I bet the supplier is already thinking about 'slipping on a banana peel' to get out of the contract. Option C is definitely the way to start.
