A supply manager for a manufacturing firm is part of a cross-functional team focusing on critical parts. A major supplier of these parts has an excellent record for quality, competitive pricing, and a good relationship with the firm. However, this supplier often requires frequent follow-up and expedited shipping, typically at added cost. The team is reluctant to consider other sources, and believes the firm's needs are being met by the current supplier.
