Actual exam question for CIPS's L4M6 exam

Question #: 23
Topic #: 7

[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?

AObtain business approval to terminate the contract

BDevelop an exit strategy

CReview the market and look for an alternative supplier

DGive written notice to the supplier of plans to terminate

Show Suggested 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.

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.

I think Sandra should also obtain business approval to terminate the contract as a backup plan.
