Peacock Clothing Manufacturing has a superior IT system compared to competitors.

Competitive advantage refers to unique capabilities that give an organisation an edge in the market. The L5M5 study guide (old p.39, new p.63) explains that superior IT systems fall under process advantages, as they directly influence how efficiently orders are taken, materials are managed, and operations are executed. Culture (A) refers to organisational values and behaviours, IP (C) refers to patents or trademarks, and People (D) refers to skills or talent. For procurement, recognising process-driven advantages helps identify supplier strengths and strategic sourcing opportunities.
