B. supply chain response time

C. fill rate

D. improving e-fulfillment statistics

E. on-time delivery

Option B, Supply chain response time

Explanation:

The reliability of the supply chain represents the amount of good performance of the distribution chain. The highest priorities for supply chain practitioners are rising trust, decreased inventory and market readiness.

The overall response time for the supply chain is the capacity of the supply chain to react to market demand rapidly. When a market demand transition is observed, the supply chain has to stabilise.

The response time of the supply chains is sometimes characterised by minimal changes in market demand.

Examples of operations in the supply chain involve processing, manufacturing, architecture, development, shipping and transportation.
