More vulnerable to disruption if a failure to supply occurs is a disadvantage of:
A) Single-sourcing
B) Multi-sourcing

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Single-sourcing relies on just one supplier, which makes it more vulnerable to disruption in case the supplier fails to deliver. On the other hand, multi-sourcing, which relies on multiple suppliers, can cushion the impact of supplier failure through alternative sources of supply, thereby making it less vulnerable to disruption. Therefore, multi-sourcing is the best choice.
