A supplier is working with a buyer who represents a large percentage of his business. Without this particular buyer, the supplier would likely go out of business. There has been a dispute in the last invoice which the buyer is not happy about. What technique should the supplier use when talking to the buyer about this?
The correct answer is 'accommodating'. This QUESTIO N N O: is based on the Thomas-Kilmann Conflict model on p.87. This comes up quite a bit in the exam. It is comprised of 5 techniques for dealing with conflict; competing, collaborating, compromising, avoiding and accommodating. In this instance, the supplier should have a high degree of co-cooperativeness and a low degree of assertiveness as the long-term relationship is very important- more important than the outcome of the disputed invoice.
Which of the following are features of a partnership sourcing relationship compared with a traditional adversarial relationship? Select TWO that apply.
Partnerships emphasize mutual goals such as quality improvement and long-term collaboration, contrasting with adversarial relationships that focus on cost and short-term gains.
Janet runs a factory which produces 1 million bread rolls every day. It requires a large amount of flour, and for this to be delivered regularly- in time with manufacturing operations. There are very few suppliers in the market place that can deliver the quality of flour Janet requires in the quantities required. Janet has just established a contract with Friendly Flour Limited - what type of supplier is Friendly Flour Limited to Janet?
Friendly Flour Ltd is a strategic supplier; this is a critical supplier, responsible for core products. They represent a high risk impact and a high cost impact. This is the top-right hand corner of the Kraljic matrix. There are lots of questions on Kraljic in the exam - do revise this topic and ensure you understand each of the four quadrants of the matrix (see p.20)
