In the context of BU455, which term denotes places where merchandise comes to rest during its journey to the fina
Facilities

Question 2
What forecast time horizon range would be most appropriate for configuring the facilities network?
Several years

Which SCM right is most closely associated with the goal of faster deliveries?
Time

Question 4
