4. Lea el siguiente texto y en los ítems que encuentra más adelante elija las
respuestas correctas para cada pregunta, de acuerdo a las opciones dadas:

Determined to pay as low a price as possible for materials, manufacturers

have not traditionally cultivated warm relationships with suppliers. In the words
of one general manager: “The best approach to supply is to have as many
players as possible fighting for their piece of the pie—that’s when you get the
best pricing.” Excellent supply chain management requires a more enlightened
mindset—recognizing, as a more progressive manufacturer did: “Our
supplier’s costs are in effect our costs. If we force our supplier to provide 90
days of consigned material when 30 days are sufficient, the cost of that
inventory will find its way back into the supplier’s price to us since it increases
his cost structure.” While manufacturers should place high demands on
suppliers, they should also realize that partners must share the goal of
reducing costs across the supply chain in order to lower prices in the
marketplace and enhance margins. The logical extension of this thinking is
gain-sharing arrangements to reward everyone who contributes to the greater
profitability.1

a. Manufacturers have not cultivated good relationships in order to get:

_X_ Low prices.

__ Good products.

__ Better services.

b. A general manager compares supplying to:

__ Toys.

_X_ Get a piece of the pie.

__ Apples.

c. Suppliers’ costs are:

_X_ Providers’ costs.

__ Managers’ costs.

d. Manufacturers not only place high demands on suppliers, but also:
