question 13

Multiple Choice

Kelly's firm processes and packages organic nuts and nut butters, and it has just landed a new contract with Costco, the discount retailer. As wonderful as this new opportunity is, the Costco-bound nut butters demand a change in the supply chain network. These products require larger containers (24 oz. containers instead of the usual 16 oz. jars) , which in turn require larger shipping cartons. Kelly is currently testing the various containers available from a range of suppliers to determine which are most compatible with the firm's production line. Which step in the supply chain network redesign process is Kelly performing?

• A) Defining the supply chain network design process
• B) Performing a supply chain audit
• C) Examining the supply chain network alternatives
• D) Conducting a facility location analysis
