Third, deciding preferable title. Title should be simple and help the audience to get to the point of graph and chart. The authors say using graphs and charts is also useful in a document. However, people should put them with introduction to make readers understand what they mean, and put them near the arguments to emphasize the point. People shouldn’t use many of graphs and charts because they give audience less impression (Lynch and Golen, 2002).
Evaluating Web Source
I think the article is not a research study, because the authors don’t show any data, so I use a way of Evaluating Web Sources. Newman (2013) describes five categories: Authority, Accuracy and Reliability, Purpose/Objectivity, Coverage, and Currency (P292).
Authority

All flows of information, products or funds generate costs within the supply chain. Efficient management of these flows is the key to success in the supply chain. Effective and efficient supply chain management involves the management of supply chain assets and product, information, and fund flows to maximize total supply chain profitability. “Supply chain efficiency is related to whether a company’s processes are harnessing resources in the best way possible, whether those resources are financial, human, technological or physical” (Borgström, 2016, pp. 2). Supply chain management involves strategic decision making processes at many levels, from the strategic level through the tactical to the operational level, relating to design, planning and operation of the supply chain, because these three subjects have a strong impact on the overall profitability, efficiency, competitiveness and success of the supply chain (Simchi-Levi et al, 2010).
