Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Using the internet to streamline global supply systems enhances the efficiency of the supply chain by allowing for real-time communication and coordination among suppliers, manufacturers, and distributors. This can lead to reduced costs, improved inventory management, and faster delivery times. Eliminating reliance on local suppliers (choice B) may not always be possible or desirable, as it could lead to increased transportation costs and longer lead times. There is no evidence to suggest that using the internet creates a vertical hierarchical structure within organizations (choice C) or increases fixed costs (choice D).
