QUESTION: 24

A supplier of non-critical items has a low credit score, Which of the following actions should be taken? Select TWO options.

replace the supplier as quickly as possible with a more financially stable supplier
conduct a benchmarking exercise
create a risk assessment and mitigation plan
inform the CEO of the company

Answer(s): B,C

Explanation:

The correct answers are conduct benchmarking and create a risk assessment. This supplier provides low value and low risk products - therefore the fact they have a bad credit rating isn't too much of a risk to your company. It's worth doing a benchmarking exercise to compare their position to others in the market to see if there are any industry-wide trends, and to create a risk assessment and mitigation plan. This could involve working with the supplier to help them improve their credit score, for example by using more favourable payment terms so they have a better cash flow. There's no need to replace them immediately, and there's no need to tell the CEO- they probably have more important things to think about than a singular supplier of non-critical items See p.81

organised well in advance to allow the factory managers to prepare for the audit
conduct on the spot visits with no warning
conduct group interviews with workers to ensure that all voices are heard

Answer(s): B,D

Explanation:

2 and 4 are correct. Audits should be unscheduled so that any issues can't be covered up in advance. Interviews with workers should also be conducted in private as this will allow them to speak their mind with confidence.
Where interviews are conducted as a group there may be peer-pressure to say the correct thing. especially if there are managers around. see p.88 for information on Audits
