Increasing the lot size or cycle inventory often decreases the cost incurred by different stages of a supply chain.
举一反三
- Cycle inventory is primarily held to take advantage of economies of scale and reduce profit within the supply chain.
- The cycle view of the supply chain is useful when considering operational decisions, because it specifies the roles and responsibilities of each member of the supply chain.
- The primary role of cycle inventory is to allow different stages in the supply chain to A: purchase product in lot sizes that maximize the sum of the material, ordering, and holding cost. B: purchase product in lot sizes that minimize the sum of the material, ordering, and holding cost. C: sell product in lot sizes that maximize the sum of the material, ordering, and holding cost. D: sell product in lot sizes that minimize the sum of the material, ordering, and holding cost. E: none of the above
- A supply chain needs to achieve a balance between the level of availability and the cost of inventory that A: maximizes supply chain revenues. B: minimizes supply chain costs. C: maximizes supply chain profitability. D: maximizes supply chain availability. E: all of the above
- Cycle inventory is primarily held to take advantage of economies of scale and reduce profit within the supply chain. A: 正确 B: 错误
