  1. See Explanation section for answer.

Answer(s): A

Explanation:

The reputation of all the organizations within a supply chain is linked. A Company's reputation is an intangible asset that can contribute to the failure of an organization if damaged. Factors that could damage organizational reputation within the supply chain are;
1. Quality: if the product or service quality is poor the organization may not satisfy it customers and this can lead to a loss of reputation in the market. For example, a residential building construction company contracting a supplier that would do a bad job which in three months may require home owners to reinstall new doors.
2. Sustainability: if the organization is not replenishing that which it is extracting, it will some day run out of business or probably loss loyal customers. For example a drilling company that spills hydrocarbon as it drills.
3. Fit for purpose: if an organization produce a product or carry out services that are not fit for purpose, it may run at loss for there will be so much rejection and rework. This can lead to customers switching to another organization which product or services are fit for their purpose.
4. Contract management: an organization will have to manage its suppliers and the contracts to ensure they are delivering what they were contracted to do. A poor contract management is a waste in the process of delivery that can lead to reputational loss.

  1. See Explanation section for answer.

Answer(s): A

Explanation:

When evaluating potential suppliers, procurement professionals can carry out benchmarking. Benchmarking is the process of comparing a function, a process performance with another which is best in-class.
Other factors, apart from price that can be considered to find the total cost of acquisition include the product or service quality, lead time, supplier culture, its environmental awareness and sustainability.

Case study:
Tetsuya Tada, Chief engineer of the Toyata Supra Sports car has revealed how the process of benchmarking contributed to the car's design.
Tada has worked by comparing the Supra to other cars. For example, it has been intentionally

designed with a shorter wheelbase, than the Toyata 86 to make it more suitable for track racing. Furthermore, Tada has benchmarked the Supra against competition by suggesting that drivers will find the car's performance comparable with that of Posche's Cayman sports car. Tada's knowledge of the features belonging to different sports cars in his industry shows how benchmarking can be used by companies to successfully differentiate their products and remain competitive through awareness of their competitor's activities.

question 35 is incorrect, the correct answer is c, it even states so: explanation: when a vm is infected with ransomware, you should not restore the vm to the infected vm. this is because the ransomware will still be present on the vm, and it will encrypt the files again. you should also not restore the vm to any vm within the companys subscription. this is because the ransomware could spread to other vms in the subscription. the best way to restore a vm that is infected with ransomware is to restore it to a new azure vm. this will ensure that the ransomware is not present on the new vm.
