11. Efficient supply Supply predictable demand efficiently at the lowest possible cost; capacity strategy:
chain model (cost maintain High average utilization rate; inventory strategy: generate High turnover
focus) and minimize inventory; lead time strategy: reduce lead time as long as it doesn't
increase cost; supplier capability: select primarily for cost and quality; logistics
strategy: greater Reliance on low-cost mode
12. Responsive sup- Respond quickly to unpredictable demand in order to minimize stockouts, lost
ply chain model sales, markdowns, and obsolete inventory; capacity strategy: deploy excess buffer
(speed focus) capacity; inventory strategy: deploy significant buffer / Safety stock; lead time
strategy: invest aggressively in ways to reduce lead time; supplier capability: select
primarily for speed, flexibility, and quality; Logistics strategy: greater Reliance on
fast/speedy modes
