Question

Trent Automobiles Inc. was expecting a large shipment of scrap metal a week earlier. As the shipment did not arrive on time, the supply manager at Trent Automobiles was forced to place another order for the same quantity of scrap metal from a local manufacturer._____________

Answer 1

Answer:

Lack of efficiency.

Explanation:

As Trent Automobiles Inc. was expecting a large shipment of scrap metal and due to the fact that it could not arrive on time, the only way to compensate the loss was to make an urgent order for same quantity of scrap metal from a local manufacturer, which led the company to compromise on the quality. If proper track was kept and all the upcoming scenarios had been calculated before hand with a ready substitute raw materials before hand, this would have been not the result. Thus, this indicates a complete lack of efficiency from the side of management of the company.
