Question 6
Two other ways of classifying supplier’s performance include: evaluating capability and evaluating past performance. Evaluating capability involves looking at the staffing structure of the supplier to ensure that they have high chance of being competent in their delivery. Evaluating past performance involves accessing previous experiences in the industry to determine whether history favors them in terms of their performance (Gordon, 2008).
Question 7
Multi-sourcing a critical item comes in handy in a case of demand surges, which calls for use of multiple sources, which promote flexibility from variety of suppliers.
