Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: B, C

The correct answers are information sharing and trust. Further qualitative KPIs are listed on p.102. Deliveries in full and on time would be a quantitative KPI and early supplier involvement is not a KPI at all.

I agree with Phuong. This is a classic case of the threat of substitutes, where a competitor's product can potentially replace the one produced by the organization.

The correct answer is A. The development of an alternative vacuum cleaner is definitely an example of the threat of substitutes, as customers may switch to the competitor's product.
