The degree of supply chain responsiveness should be consistent with the implied uncertainty.

If the level of uncertainty in the supply chain is high, then a high degree of responsiveness is necessary to quickly adapt to changes and mitigate risks. On the other hand, if the level of uncertainty is low, then a lower degree of responsiveness may be sufficient, as the risks of disruption are lower. Therefore, the degree of supply chain responsiveness should align with the level of uncertainty to effectively manage the supply chain.
