Exam CORe Topic 1 Question 147 Discussion

Actual exam question for ISM's CORe exam
Question #: 147
Topic #: 1
A manufacturing firm creates a steering committee to review a proposal to manufacture a new product. The product is regarded by the firm's sales team as a customer requirement based on "voice of the customer" input.
In the past, this product was seen as a high-risk noncore item, but the situation has now changed enough for the firm to warrant consideration. The firm's supply manager is tasked with developing a sourcing plan for the steering committee. In this situation, which of the following is the NEXT course of action the supply manager should take?

Suggested Answer: D Vote an answer

In developing a sourcing plan for a new product, the first logical step for the supply manager is to create a scope of work (SOW). The SOW should detail the specific requirements and expectations for the product, including quality, delivery, performance specifications, and any other pertinent criteria. Once the SOW is prepared, it should be submitted to stakeholders for review and approval. This ensures alignment and buy-in from all relevant parties before proceeding with the procurement process.
