Which attribute of good information is violated when a monthly inventory report reaches the purchase manager only after the reorder decision date has already passed?
Timeliness is violated. Good information must reach the decision maker before the decision is made. A report arriving after the reorder date has passed may still be accurate, complete and relevant, but it is no longer useful for the decision it was meant to support.
- AAccuracy
- BTimelinessCorrect
- CCompleteness
- DRelevance to the user's field
Explanation
Timeliness means information is available when needed for the decision. The report may be accurate, complete and relevant, but its late arrival defeats its use. The other attributes concern correctness, coverage and fit, which are not the problem described.
