GHI, Inc. is a U.S.-based company with an expanding product line. GHI widens its sourcing of components to global suppliers, including suppliers in countries which are not included in trading blocs or bilateral agreements with the United States. Compliance with which of the following will MOST likely reduce GHI's administrative burden of cargo inspections on materials imported from these sources?
In a highly competitive market like office supplies, the most critical cost associated with shortag-es is typically lost sales. If PQR, Inc. experiences shipping delays and cannot maintain continuous inventory, customers are likely to turn to competitors to meet their needs. This can result in im-mediate lost sales and potentially long-term loss of customer loyalty. The cost of lost sales often outweighs other costs like idle workers or production downtime because it directly affects revenue and market share. Reference:
