Answer 1

Answer:

The correct answer is e. provide answers to customer relationship management queries regarding product availability, costs, and delivery times.

Explanation:

Supply chain management (SCM) consists of monitoring materials, information and finances during the process that goes from the supplier to the manufacturer, the wholesaler, the retailer, and the consumer. Supply chain management involves the coordination and integration of these flows, both within the same company and between different companies. It is said that the main objective of any effective supply chain management system is the reduction of inventories (assuming that the products are available when necessary). To offer optimal supply chain management solutions, there are currently sophisticated software systems with Web interfaces competing with Web-based application service providers (ASP) that are committed to providing part or all of the SMC service to Companies that hire their services.
