D': Order product contents from international vendors
In order to Create a balance between responsiveness and efficiency I must Ensure high level of responsiveness and in order to Ensure high level of responsiveness I must Order product contents from domestic vendors. But, in order to Create a balance between responsiveness and efficiency I must also Order contents at the lowest possible price and in order to Order contents at the lowest possible price I must Order product contents from international vendors. I can't both Order product contents from domestic vendors and Order product contents from international vendors.
| Relation | Assumption(s) | Injection(s) |
| D-D' | A product cannot be ordered from both a domestic and international vendor. | |
| B-D | Domestic orders are more responsive to changes in customer demand based on their local proximity to the targeted market. | Domestic orders can also have a long lead time, which would defeat the purpose of ordering domestically. But since 1-Shoppe support the Buy American Act, we should still order domestically regardless of cost. |
| C-D' | International vendors have the lowest prices, even once shipping is accounted for. | International shipping would be more efficient only if a certain quantity of product is ordered at once, in bulk. This would also raise inventory costs. |
| A-B | Responsiveness is a critical factor in good customer service, as is price. | Responsiveness is the only way to keep up with a changing market. |
| A-C | Paying as little as possible for products is vital for high efficiency. | Ordering in bulk if inventory costs are low may provide a cost effective and efficient solution. |
