How can a change in customers, product lines, and supply chains affect business processes?

What will be an ideal response?


A new category of customers could mean that the credit-check process needs to be modified; a certain category of customers is too risky to be extended credit. All sales to customers in this category must be for cash. A change in product lines might require different ways of checking availability. A change in the supply chain might mean that a company no longer stocks some items in inventory, but ships directly from the manufacturer instead.
