Answer» ply CHAIN cycle and the location of the push/pull boundary. Explanation:A full supply chain process that includes purchasing, producing, DISTRIBUTION, replenishment and customer fulfillment takes place when a customer orders a book from the bookstore. For every supply chain, the push/pull boundary divides push processes from pull processes. The bookstore push/pull boundary exists between the order process for the customer and the processes of purchase, manufacture, and replenishment. The customer order cycle is a pull process since the customer order cycle PERFORMS all OPERATIONS only after the customer has arrived. The REMAINING processes are all push process before the customer arrives. |
