The case

study mentions attacks in the Suez Canal and the effect of climate change on

the Panama Canal. This has influenced global shipping routes. In the aftermath of recent attacks in the Red Sea, vessels

are opting to bypass the Suez Canal and navigate around South Africa's Cape of

Good Hope. This shift has disrupted the crucial global shipping routes,

compelling ships to add another 15 days to their journeys, accompanied by

increased costs. These cargo delays and increased delivery times will

influence supplier selection and assessment. Look at figure 5.2 in the

prescribed book. Due to the above scenario the evaluation criteria change as

follows:

On-time delivery (15)

Fill-rate (0)

Cost reduction materials (5)

Cost reduction transport (20)

Question: Which supplier is now the least preferred overall?
