Discussion:
If the supply chain of a company is interrupted because a toxic contaminant has been found in a raw material that causes a product to be pulled from the store shelf, describe:
a. The potential impact to production, sales, and reputation of the company.
b. If you were tasked to prepare an audit protocol to ensure senior management about the integrity of the supply chain, who would you audit and what elements would you audit them for?
c. What are the advantages and disadvantages of duel sourcing (two suppliers) for each raw material?
