Increasing the use of subcontractors (C) might just add another layer of complexity to the already challenging situation.

Eliminating all lower-tier suppliers (A) is a bit extreme, don't you think? That could create more problems than it solves.

I practiced a similar question where focusing on competitive relationships was suggested, but I wonder if that really helps with information flow.

I remember discussing how layering and tiering can help simplify complex supply chains, but I'm not entirely sure if it's the best option here.

Hmm, I'm a little unsure about this one. Increasing the use of subcontractors (C) could be an option, but I'm not sure if that would really solve the core problems. I'm leaning more towards B or D, but I'll have to think it through a bit more.

Okay, I've got a strategy for this. I think implementing layering and tiering in the supply chain network (B) would be the most effective way to manage the complexity and information flow challenges. It allows for better visibility and control.
