And the correct answer is the option B: II only: Unless something is done, our firm will not be the most effective and efficient long-term supplier.

Step-by-step explanation:

To begin with, the concept known as SCM refers to the Supply Chain Management that is the system whose main purpose is to take care of the management of the flow of the services and goods that involves the raw materials needed for the production of the product of the company and also of the work-in-process inventory as well as the finished goods. That is why that this system is the one that is in charge of the whole flow of the product of the company from its origin in the process until the final line that is the consumption of it. Therefore that if there is a lack of fit between what the customer wants and what the SCM is best able to provide then if nothing is done, the firm will not be the most effective and efficient long-term supplier.
