After identifying the potential causes for delays in communicating demand information up the supply chain, the trading partners should take which of the following actions?
After identifying the potential causes for delays in communicating demand information up the supply chain, the trading partners should take which of the following actions?
Once potential causes for delays in communicating demand information up the supply chain have been identified, the appropriate next step is to implement procedural changes to ensure data is communicated more frequently. This action directly addresses the issue of delays by increasing the frequency of data communication, thereby improving the overall efficiency of the supply chain.
Identifying the root causes for the delays is essential to understanding why the communication issues are occurring. Once the root causes are identified, appropriate and effective measures can be taken to address these issues, leading to more reliable and timely communication of demand information up the supply chain.
I believe option B could be appropriate. In this question, its mentioned as "after identifying the potential cause" which means the reason is found (this is the primary prupose of root cause analysis). Then why we need to perform root cause analysis once again. Better, now we need to focus on what action could be taken to overcome this issue.
Question Itself said that "After Identified the root cause" So that answer should not be"C" should "B" Its my suggestion.
I thought so too at first but it lists them as "potential causes" so the actual root cause is still unknown
C, is correct First you have to identify the cause, then you can do what comes next..
Matracey is right. The question is meant to emphasis the importance of identifying "root causes" in continuous improvement
I think the key here is we don't know the cause of the delay or what it pertains to. So it could be either A or B or anything else for that matter. Also, I agree with matracey, it lists them as potential.
