- Question-1 Read the below scenario and answer. (Marks – 12) Cisco’s model of building a seamless supply chain is one that many companies can follow. It proves that you do not have to own or control most of the elements in your supply chain, yet have complete visibility of the chain. The Internet allows companies to coordinate more closely with their suppliers and also enables just-in-time delivery that lets businesses greatly reduce inventories. Cisco’s suppliers build and ship while Cisco handles all of the financial transactions. This is an excellent instance of control/demand uncertainty fix. Discuss your understanding about Supply Chain Visibility. What is your inference about technology in the context? Implement the SCOR model and mention the demand and supply uncertainty with the help of a diagram.
