Which of the following might be considered as advantages, to the supplier, of key performance...

From the supplier’s perspective, well-constructed KPIs:

Focus on critical success factors (A) – allows the supplier to allocate resources effectively and improve performance where it matters most.

Clarify expectations (C) – clear KPIs reduce confusion and misunderstandings about what the buyer actually needs.

Options B, D and E are either negative or nonsensical from a supplier-advantage viewpoint:

Cutting quality (B) is not a legitimate advantage; it increases risk.

Sharing best systems with competitors (D) is definitely not an advantage.

Ensuring they do not exceed performance levels (E) is not beneficial; suppliers often want to exceed targets for reputation or gain-share.
