NEW QUESTION # 146
Which of the following best describes what happens when order volumes from customers increase and multiply through the supply chain?
- A. Forrester effect
- B. Seasonal demand
- C. Pareto curve
- D. Opitz system
Answer: A
Explanation:
The bullwhip effect (or Forrester effect) is a distribution channel phenomenon in which forecasts yield supply chain inefficiencies. It refers to increasing swings in inventory in response to shifts in customer demand as one moves further up the supply chain.
Seasonal demand: consumer interest in purchasing particular products only during a specific peri-od within the calendar year.
OPITZ is a coding system used to form Groups in Group Technology philosophy of Manufactur-ing.
The Pareto Curve is the shape created when the bars of a Pareto Chart are progressively summed and the points joined together. The final curve ends at 100% of items in the chart, which means that you can then draw a line across at 80% and 'bounce' it down to find the bar which, when combined with all bars to its left, will give 80% of all items.

NEW QUESTION # 147
A pharmaceutical firm offers a new drug called NC-01. After analysing the market, the firm realises that the demand is largely variable. But they still have to forecast the customer demand for the next production cycle. The new drug NC-01 is best described as which type of item?
- A. Overhead items
- B. Indirect demand
- C. Dependent demand
- D. Independent demand
Answer: D
Explanation:
Dependent demand is the requirement for stock item which is directly related to and therefore de-pendent upon the rate of production (examples are: raw materials, components, energy) Independent demand is the requirement for stock item which is not directly related to, and is therefore independent of rate of production. Although independent demand is called thus, it can still be influenced by economic factors external to the demand-supply model such as general consumer sentiment and consumers' available disposal income. However, businesses that need to predict the number of products with independent demand needed to sate their customers have it easier than businesses that must calculate the demand for products with dependent demand because there are fewer factors to consider.
In this scenario, the new drug is finished good which is dependent on the demand of the market, and the firm needs to forecast before initiating the production process. The item is independent from rate of production, therefore, it must be independent demand item.

NEW QUESTION # 150
Which of the following is an assumption of economic-order-quantity model?
- A. No inventory stockouts occur
- B. The purchasing cost per unit is affected by the order quantity
- C. Demand, ordering costs, and carrying costs are uncertain
- D. The quantity ordered can vary at each reorder point
Answer: A
Explanation:
Economic order quantity (EOQ) model is the method that provides the company with an order quantity. This order quantity figure is where the record holding costs and ordering costs are mini-mized. By using this model, the companies can minimize the costs associated with the ordering and inventory holding. In 1913, Ford W.
Harris developed this formula whereas R. H. Wilson is given credit for the application and in-depth analysis on this model.
If the economic order quantity model is applied, the following assumptions should be met:
- The rate of demand is constant, and total demand is known in advance.
- The ordering cost is constant.
- The unit price of inventory is constant, i.e., no discount is applied depending on order quantity.
- Delivery time is constant.
- Replacement of defective units is instantaneous.
- There is no safety stock level, i.e., the minimum stock level is zero.
- Restocking is made by the whole batch.
Because the demand and lead time are constant, no stockout events can occur.

NEW QUESTION # 151
Which of the following are most likely to be direct benefits of applying RFID technology? Select TWO that apply
- A. Large information capacity
- B. Being able to work in harsh conditions without any supports
- C. Identifying product defects
- D. Being able to work in 1km range or above
- E. Multiple items tracking
Answer: A,E
Explanation:
RFID tags are the small devices that can be embedded in labels or attached to tags which work with radio transmitters and/or receivers to identify themselves.
RFID tags can be used to do the following:
- Track individual items
- Track boxes of products, cages of products and pallets
- Track containers with multiple loads
- Locate equipment within a building
- Trigger alarms should equipment or stock be removed without authorisation.
RFID devices have a very small integrated circuit incorporating a small memory capability - many are smaller than 2mm square and 2mm thick. Despite its size, many can hold 2000 characters of data.
RFID operating rage depends on the radio frequency used, receiver capability and the environment. Some tags are only readable from under 1m, others can have a 100m range.
RFID tags and labels are very specific to the type of material and size of your assets. For example, metal will deactivate the RFID antenna and the tag will not transmit at all. Using RFID on metal requires a special type of tag with an RFID block to prevent interference with the antenna. Liquid products can also affect the reliability of the RFID signal. To use RFID tags in specific environ-ments, some technologies are needed to support them.
NEW QUESTION # 152
Amanda is the purchasing manager for AB Construction based in France. She is considering purchasing an asset from overseas but knows she must account for fluctuations in exchange rates in the contract. Is Amanda correct?
- A. Yes, as AB Construction could pay more for the asset than intended and Amanda should include a currency fluctuation clause
- B. Yes, as Amanda will be able to decide the currency exchange rates to be used
- C. No, as the price can be re-negotiated post-contract sign-off by AB Construction and the supplier
- D. No, as it will be better to purchase the asset in AB Construction's local currency as it would be efficient and more stable
Answer: A
Explanation:
Including a currency fluctuation clause protects against exchange rate volatility, which can increase the final cost if the currency depreciates. Whole-life asset management often incorporates such risk management measures to ensure cost predictability and avoid unanticipated financial impact on long-term projects.
NEW QUESTION # 153
The following are examples of scheduled maintenance except...
- A. Cleaning of tank
- B. Overhauling of machine
- C. Oil changes and regular servicing
- D. Repair signage damage from a recent storm
Answer: D
Explanation:
Scheduled maintenance is any repair and upkeep work performed within a set timeframe. It details when given maintenance tasks are performed and by whom. Scheduled maintenance may occur at repeating intervals or in response to a work request.
"Overhauling of machine" means that the machine is regularly checked and corrupted parts are replaced if needed.
"Cleaning of tank" and "Oil changes" also occur at time intervals as scheduled So the correct answer is "Repair signage damage from a recent storm"
NEW QUESTION # 154
Which of the following is the correct statement about total ordering cost?
- A. Rise as the average stock level rises
- B. Fall with the per period usage rate
- C. Rise as the order quantity rises
- D. Equal the number of orders placed times the cost of placing an order
Answer: D
Explanation:
Typically, ordering costs include expenses for a purchase order, labor costs for the inspection of goods received, labor costs for placing the goods received in stock, labor costs for issuing a supplier's invoice and labor costs for issuing a supplier payment. These costs are irrelevant from the size of the order and are incurred every time a firm places an order.
The total ordering cost will be equal to ordering cost per order multiply with number of orders.
NEW QUESTION # 155
Long-term forecasting of demand using a subjective method is based on a ...
- A. qualitative, informal, clinical, experienced-based or intuitive method
- B. quantitative, explicit, statistical, or formal method
- C. method of calculating the price in detail within the supply chain
- D. predicted cash flow forecast levels used by the organization
Answer: A
Explanation:
Subjective demand forecasting relies on qualitative methods that draw on expert experience and intuition rather than quantitative data. This includes techniques like the Delphi method, where experts provide insights based on their judgment. In whole-life asset management, subjective forecasting may complement data-driven forecasts when historical data is limited or demand patterns are unpredictable.

NEW QUESTION # 157
Which one of the following statements is true about radio frequency identification (RFID)?
- A. An active RFID tag does not require a power source
- B. A passive RFID tag does not use an antenna
- C. Normally passive RFID tags store ID numbers
- D. RFID tags require laser scanning.
Answer: C
Explanation:
Radio frequency identification (RFID) are items which use radio technology to identify itself and its location subject to having appropriate hardware and software.
RFID tags are made of three different components: an RFID chip, which is an integrated circuit (IC), an antenna, and a substrate.
A RFID Reader is a device that uses radio-frequency waves to wirelessly transfer data between itself and a RFID tag/label in order to identify, categorize and track assets. When combined with the right RFID software, a RFID reader can identify objects quicker, more accurately, at a reduced overall cost, and at various points of the object's lifecycle.
Passive RFID systems use tags with no internal power source and instead are powered by the electromagnetic energy transmitted from an RFID reader. Passive RFID tags are used for applica-tions such as access control, file tracking, race timing, supply chain management, smart labels, and more.
Active RFID systems have three essential parts - a reader or interrogator, antenna, and a tag. Ac-tive RFID tags possess their own power source - an internal battery that enables them to have ex-tremely long read ranges as well as large memory banks.

NEW QUESTION # 159
To improve the security of a warehouse, alarm systems are commonly used. Which of the following is an important part of these systems?
- A. Fencing
- B. Sensors
- C. Lighting
- D. CCTV
Answer: B
Explanation:
The most basic alarm consists of one or more sensors to detect intruders, and an alerting device to indicate the intrusion. However, a typical premises security alarm employs the following compo-nents:
- Premises control unit (PCU), Alarm Control Panel (ACP), or simply panel: The "brain" of the system, it reads sensor inputs, tracks arm/disarm status, and signals intrusions. In modern system, this is typically one or more computer circuit boards inside a metal enclosure, along with a power supply.
- Sensors: Devices which detect intrusions. Sensors may be placed at the perimeter of the protected area, within it, or both. Sensors can detect intruders by a variety of methods, such as monitoring doorsand windows for opening, or by monitoring unoccupied interiors for motions, sound, vibration, or other disturbances.
- Alerting devices: These indicate an alarm condition. Most commonly, these are bells, sirens, and/or flashing lights. Alerting devices serve the dual purposes of warning occupants of intrusion, and potentially scaring off burglars. These devices may also be used to warn occupants of a fire or smoke condition.
- Keypads: Small devices, typically wall-mounted, which function as the human-machine interface to the system. In addition to buttons, keypads typically feature indicator lights, a small multi-character display, or both.etc.
- Interconnections between components. This may consist of direct wiring to the control unit, or wireless links with local power supplies.
In addition to the system itself, security alarms are often coupled with a monitoring service. In the event of an alarm, the premises control unit contacts a central monitoring station. Operators at the station see the signal and take appropriate action, such as contacting property owners, notifying police, or dispatching private security forces. Such signals may be transmitted via dedicated alarm circuits, telephone lines, or the internet.

NEW QUESTION # 161
XYZ Ltd has been adopting MRP system for years. The system helps the company improve effi-ciency greatly and generates huge cost-savings. However, MRP system is only limited to produc-tion process management and XYZ management team would like to have better insights into re-sources required across the organisation as a whole. Which software system would help XYZ management team achieve the above objective?
- A. MRP II
- B. MPS
- C. ERP
- D. P2P
Answer: C
Explanation:
Enterprise resource planning (ERP) is the integrated management of main business processes, often in real time and mediated by software and technology. ERP provides an integrated and con-tinuously updated view of core business processes using common databases maintained by a data-base management system. ERP systems track business resources-cash, raw materials, production capacity-and the status of business commitments: orders, purchase orders, and payroll. The applications that make up the system share data across various departments (manufacturing, purchasing, sales, accounting, etc.) that provide the data. ERP facilitates information flow between all business functions and manages connections to outside stakeholders.
Manufacturing resource planning (MRP II) is defined as a method for the effective planning of all resources of a manufacturing company. Ideally, it addresses operational planning in units, financial planning, and has a simulation capability to answer "what-if" questions and extension of closed-loop MRP. This is not exclusively a software function, but the management of people skills, requiring a dedication to database accuracy, and sufficient computer resources. It is a total company management concept for using human and company resources more productively.
A master production schedule (MPS) is a plan for individual commodities to be produced in each time period such as production, staffing, inventory, etc. It is usually linked to manufacturing where the plan indicates when and how much of each product will be demanded. This plan quantifies significant processes, parts, and other resources in order to optimize production, to identify bottlenecks, and to anticipate needs and completed goods. Since a MPS drives much factory activity, its accuracy and viability dramatically affect profitability.
Procure-to-pay (P2P) is a term used in the software industry to designate a specific subdivision of the procurement process. The procure-to-pay systems enable the integration of the purchasing department with the accounts payable (AP) department. Some of the largest players of the software industry agree on a common definition of procure-to-pay, linking the procurement process and financial department.

NEW QUESTION # 162
Which of the following should be considered when an organisation plans for disposing obsolescent and redundant stock? Select TWO that apply.
- A. ABC analysis
- B. Economic order quantity
- C. Takt time
- D. Environmental issues
- E. Financial costs
Answer: D,E
Explanation:
If the planning and mitigation measures fail and redundant or obsolete stock is identified, it needs to be removed from the current inventory location as quickly as possible. There are some methods to dealwith these types of stock. The worst case scenario is disposal to landfill, which is inadvisable if it can be avoided, both from environment point of view and the financial costs of such disposal.
For example, the problem of obsolete pesticides remains extremely serious and urgent. Many of the stocks identified continue to deteriorate thereby giving rise to an ever escalating source of severe pollution and posing a threat to human health, the environment and development in particular. To reduce the impact of obsolete pesticides on environment, FAO initiated a project in Yemen in which a total of 262 tonnes of obsolete pesticides were removed from 20 different sites and successfully disposed of between March and June 1996. The major field operation was completed in six weeks during which period almost all obsolete pesticides were brought to a central location and subsequently shipped to the United Kingdom for incineration.
