What will be an ideal response?

The customer relationship process identifies, attracts, and builds relationships with external customers and facilitates the placement of orders. The order fulfillment process includes activities required to produce and deliver the service or product to the external customer. The new service/product development process designs and develops new services or products, which may be to customer specifications. The supplier relationship process selects the suppliers of services, materials, and information and facilitates the flow of these items into the firm. All of these processes exist to provide a service or product to the customer.
