Discuss CIPS L6M9 Exam Topic 1 Question 24

When designing a supply network, which of the following stages should be completed first?

AAnalyse potential risks

BConfirm the network scope

CDetermine the approach for managing material flow

DTrack information flow

Suggested Answer: B

The correct sequence for designing a supply network is:

Determine strategic objectives

Confirm the network scope

Analyse potential risks

Determine the approach for managing material and information flow

Track material and information flow

Since network scope defines the boundaries, scale, and overall structure of the network, it must be confirmed first. (LO 1.1, See p.3)

I remember a practice question where we had to determine the approach for managing material flow first, but I can't recall if that's the right order here.
