A critical outcome of the supply chain is to deliver:

A) profits.
B) the right product to the right place.
C) cost/value.
D) on management's expectations.

The critical outcome of the supply chain is to ensure that the right product is delivered to the right place. While profits and cost/value are important considerations, they are ultimately dependent on the ability to deliver the right product to the right place in a timely and efficient manner. Meeting management's expectations is important, but this is ultimately tied to achieving the primary goal of delivering the right product to the right place.
