Question

A. Highly predictable demand
B. product with shotlife cycles that change frequently
C. Low contribution margin
D. Stable product line

Answer 1

Highly predictable demand

Answer 2

Highly predictable demand does not fit with an efficient supply chain.

Option: A

Explanation:

• A better functioning supply chain should be not only effective but also efficient. The efficient supply chain always makes the better use of its resources.  

• The resources might be human, financial, physical or technological. This efficiency will minimize the costs for packing the materials and minimizes the time wastage.  

• If you concentrate only on efficiency and not the effective part, then the delivered product comes up with poor quality and doesn’t fulfill the demands.
