Question 96

Which of the following occurs in the growth stage of the relationship lifecycle?

Correct Answer: B
CIPS explains that supplier relationships move through a lifecycle typically consisting of initiation, growth, maturity, and exit/renewal.
During the growth stage, the relationship is developing and expanding. As interaction increases, it is common for:
* Operational challenges to arise
* Differences in expectations to surface
* Conflicts to emerge that must be managed collaboratively
Negotiating terms occurs at the initiation stage, achieving aims occurs during maturity, and learning lessons is associated with exit or renewal.

Question 99

Early Supplier Involvement can be described as a collaborative relationship between a buyer and a supplier to develop a new project. Handfield's model describes four different levels of supplier involvement ranging from none to 'black box' (which is when the design is primarily driven by the supplier. What other level features on this model?

Correct Answer: C
The Handfield ESI model is on p.98 and comprises of Black Box, Grey Box, White Box and None. Therefore Red and Blue can be automatically discounted. The correct answer is White Box as the definition given is correct. Grey Box is a formalised supplier integration; joint development activity between buyer and supplier.
I have no idea why Handfield calls his system after coloured boxes- but it's only briefly mentioned in the study guide and is not likely to be a big topic in the exam.
