Efficiency Versus Responsiveness Trade-Off
Supply Chain Planning and Analytics, Supply Chain Management Strategy, Planning, and Operation, 6e (Indian Subcontinent Edition), and SUPPLY CHAIN MANAGEMENT Fourth Edition,Sunil Chopra hold Efficiency and responsiveness are a fundamental trade-off: you optimize one at the expense of the other, so you must position deliberately (“Supply Chain Management Strategy, Planning, and Operation, 6e (Indian Subcontinent Edition)”, “SUPPLY CHAIN MANAGEMENT Fourth Edition,Sunil Chopra”, supply_chain_planning_and_analytics); Operations management holds Lean/agile methods let you achieve both jointly — cost efficiency and flexibility need not be sacrificed against each other (supply_chain_analytics, “Operations management”).
