Q1.The matrix below positions four purchased items.

Which item most needs continuity measures such as buffer stock?
- A.Steel sheet, because it carries the highest profit impact of the four items
- B.Stationery, because it is the item positioned lowest on both axes
- C.Specialty gasket, because it is hard to source although it is low in value✓ Correct answer
- D.Custom actuator, because it is high on both of the two axes shown
Explanation
The gasket is a bottleneck item: cheap, but difficult to source. Continuity measures such as buffer stock and alternative qualification protect against exactly that combination.

The custom actuator is high on both axes, which makes it strategic. It also needs attention, but through a closer supplier relationship rather than principally through stock.
