If there is a value in the CPFR key figure, the Agreed Unconstrained Demand equals to:
-
CPFR+Total Events
-
CPFR+Agreed Baseline Forecast
-
CPFR+Proposed Unconstrained Demand
-
None of them
Correct Answer
A. None of them -
- 14.
If there is no value in the CPFR key figure, the Agreed Unconstrained Demand equals to:
-
Total Events
-
Agreed Baseline Forecast
-
Proposed Unconstrained Demand
-
None of them
Correct Answer
A. Proposed Unconstrained DemandExplanation
If there is no value in the CPFR key figure, the Agreed Unconstrained Demand would equal the Proposed Unconstrained Demand. This is because the CPFR key figure represents a collaborative forecast between the supplier and the customer. If there is no value in this key figure, it means that there was no agreement or collaboration on the forecasted demand. Therefore, the Agreed Unconstrained Demand would default to the Proposed Unconstrained Demand, which is the forecasted demand suggested by the supplier.Rate this question:
