Explanation of Solution

The performance of the supply chain means timely inputs at optimum cost.

The cost consists of the input costs, transportation costs, administrative costs, holding costs (of money and space). Thus all such costs need to be controlled and continually reduced while ensuring the output of the supply chain, i.e., inputs of the right quality in the right quantity and preferably just in time.
