question 81

Multiple Choice

Fishy Business
DNA testing has revealed that sushi bar customers are not always getting what they pay for.Scientists at the American Museum of Natural History tested fish from 31 sushi bars and found that the tuna coveted by many diners is often a cheaper substitute,a banned fish,or an endangered species.This could be the result of an honest mistake in the supply chain,or it could be a deliberate attempt to deceive buyers.However,researchers have uncovered a DNA 'barcode' that can accurately identify the type of fish.While still a ways off,the scientist who developed the tuna DNA barcode envisions a small device that can provide instantaneous species identification,which will result in restaurants ultimately providing what their customers are demanding and paying for.
-Refer to Fishy Business.In the future,a device will allow each member of the supply chain for fresh fish to verify accountability for providing the species of fish the customer ordered.Which element of supply chain integration is this when each individual firm or business unit is accountable for meeting its own goals regarding providing the fish they say they are providing?

• A) benchmark integration
• B) measurement integration
• C) planning integration
• D) management integration
