質問 # 18
A manufacturing firm creates a steering committee to review a proposal to manufacture a new product. The product is regarded by the firm's sales team as a customer requirement based on "voice of the customer" input.
In the past, this product was seen as a high-risk noncore item, but the situation has now changed enough for the firm to warrant consideration. The firm's supply manager is tasked with developing a sourcing plan for the steering committee. In this situation, which of the following is the NEXT course of action the supply manager should take?
- A. Conduct market research on the options available for the product discussed
- B. Create a request for information (RFI) and find the best qualified suppliers with which to develop a sourcing plan
- C. Create a scope of work outlining the requirements, and submit it to stakeholders for review and approval
- D. Conduct a strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats (SWOT) analysis
正解：C
解説：
In developing a sourcing plan for a new product, the first logical step for the supply manager is to create a scope of work (SOW). The SOW should detail the specific requirements and expectations for the product, including quality, delivery, performance specifications, and any other pertinent criteria. Once the SOW is prepared, it should be submitted to stakeholders for review and approval. This ensures alignment and buy-in from all relevant parties before proceeding with the procurement process.

After working with internal stakeholders, obtaining bids, and performing negotiations, a new supplier is awarded the agreement. The new supplier's cost is $19,000 per month to perform Scope A as well as Scope B, which was previously performed by another supplier at a cost of $2,000 per month.

質問 # 28
Consider the following supplier terms for the same product:
Supplier A:2%/15, Net 30
Supplier B:4°/o/5, Net 30
Which supplier's terms are more advantageous to the buying organization?
- A. The terms are equivalent
- B. Supplier B
- C. Supplier A
- D. Cannot be determined based on the above information
正解：B
解説：
Supplier B's terms of 4%/5, Net 30 are more advantageous. This means a 4% discount is available if the invoice is paid within 5 days, whereas Supplier A offers a 2% discount for payment within 15 days. Paying early (5 days) to get a 4% discount is more beneficial in terms of cost savings compared to a 2% discount for paying within 15 days. The greater discount percentage within a shorter period represents better cash flow management and cost savings.
