CIPS L6M9 Exam - Topic 2 Question 7 Discussion

Actual exam question for CIPS's L6M9 exam
Question #: 7
Topic #: 2
[All L6M9 Questions]

Which of the following is a difference between a supply chain and a supply network? Select ALL that apply.

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: B, C, D

A supply chain is a simple, linear system where products move from A B C.

A supply network is multi-layered, with horizontal and vertical connections, making it more complex.

Dimension difference (B): Supply networks have larger dimensions, with multiple supply channels and flows.

Complexity (C): A supply network is more intricate than a single supply chain.

Number of players (D): Supply networks involve more entities than a simple supply chain.

Profit made (A) is incorrect, as both supply chains and supply networks can be profitable.

Location of players (E) is incorrect, as both supply chains and networks can be local or global.

Wait, are we sure about the dimension difference? Seems a bit vague.

Location of the players seems like it could be relevant, but I can't recall if it's a major difference. I need to think about that one more.

I think we had a practice question about the number of players involved. Supply networks definitely have more players than a traditional supply chain, right?

I'm not entirely sure about the profit aspect. I feel like both can be profitable, but maybe the way profit is generated differs?

I remember we discussed how supply chains are usually linear, while supply networks can be more complex. So, I think complexity might be a key difference.

This seems straightforward. The main difference is the dimension and complexity of the network. I'm confident I can identify the correct answer.

I've got a strategy - I'll start by identifying the clear differences, like complexity and number of players. Then I'll see if any of the other options also apply.

Location of the players? That's a good one. Gotta consider the global scope of a supply network compared to a local chain.
