According to Fisher (1997), supply chains need to be matched to products. In particular, a distinction is often drawn between supply chains that are managed to emphasise supply chain efficiency (lean supply chains), and those that emphasise supply chain responsiveness and flexibility (agile supply chains).
You are asked to provide a critical discussion of this distinction, providing examples of both types of supply chain.
This coursework should follow a structured approach and should be prepared and presented as a professional business report. You should undertake a relevant literature review that helps inform your investigation. Please also ensure that the Harvard Referencing System is adhered to and fully complied with.
