Receiving & StorageQuestion 407 of 500
A manager is choosing between two seafood distributors. Which piece of information best supports the choice?
a.The distributor offers the lowest price per pound this quarter
b.The distributor shares recent third-party inspection reports
c.The distributor delivers seven days a week including holidays
d.The distributor has served the neighborhood for thirty years
Explanation
An approved supplier is one that has been inspected and meets applicable laws, and reviewing recent inspection or third-party audit reports is how a manager verifies that rather than assuming it. Price, delivery frequency, and longevity say nothing about whether the cold chain and the harvest records hold up.
