Quizplus · Accepted Answer

An internal supplier is a department or division within the same company that provides materials or services to another department or division. In this scenario, the Receiving Department at ABC is an internal supplier because they provide materials (raw materials, parts, and components) to the Production Department for the toy manufacturing process. The other options are not internal suppliers. The lumber company is an external supplier as they provide the raw materials to the Receiving Department, the Shipping Department is also an internal supplier as they provide shipping services to the Production Department, but they do not provide materials or components for the manufacturing process. Finally, the toy store at the mall is an external customer, as they buy and sell the final product of the manufacturing process.
