Question 291

A logistics manager Is faced with delivering an order via rail or truck. Shipping via rail costs S300 and takes
14 days. Shipping via truck costs $600 and takes 3 days. If the holding cost is $40 per day, what is the cost to deliver the order?

Correct Answer: C
The cost to deliver the order consists of two components: the shipping cost and the holding cost. The shipping cost is the amount paid to the transportation mode for moving the order from the origin to the destination. The holding cost is the amount incurred for storing the order until it is delivered to the customer. The holding cost depends on the delivery time, which is the number of days it takes for the order to reach the customer. The longer the delivery time, the higher the holding cost. The shipping cost and the holding cost for each transportation mode are calculated as follows:
Shipping via rail:
Shipping cost = $300
Delivery time = 14 days
Holding cost = $40 x 14 = $560
Total cost = $300 + $560 = $860
Shipping via truck:
Shipping cost = $600
Delivery time = 3 days
Holding cost = $40 x 3 = $120
Total cost = $600 + $120 = $720
Therefore, the cost to deliver the order via rail is $860, and the cost to deliver the order via truck is $720.

Question 292

Components of an organization's Immediate industry and competitive environment Include:

Correct Answer: C
Substitute products are components of an organization's immediate industry and competitive environment. They are products or services that can satisfy the same customer needs or wants as the organization's offerings, but are provided by different industries or markets. Substitute products can affect the demand, price, and profitability of the organization's products, and require the organization to monitor and respond to the changes in customer preferences and competitive pressures. Political factors, interest rates, and sociocultural forces are examples of macroenvironmental factors, which are broader and more general forces that affect the organization and its industry, but are not directly related to its competitors or customers.

Question 293

Risk pooling would work best for items with:

Correct Answer: D
Risk pooling is the concept of reducing the variability in demand for raw materials or finished goods by aggregating demand across multiple locations or products1. By doing so, the demand fluctuations are more likely to cancel out each other, resulting in a lower safety stock and inventory cost. Risk pooling works best for items with high demand uncertainty and long lead times, because these items have the highest risk of stockouts and the highest inventory holding cost. If the demand uncertainty is low, there is less need for risk pooling, as the demand can be easily forecasted and met. If the lead time is short, the replenishment orders can be placed more frequently and adjusted to the actual demand, reducing the need for safety stock and risk pooling2.

Question 295

A reduction In purchased lot sizes will reduce which of the following items?

Correct Answer: A
A reduction in purchased lot sizes means ordering smaller quantities of materials more frequently. This reduces the average inventory level and the carrying cost of inventory. However, it also increases the frequency of orders and the ordering cost. The reorder point (ROP) is the level of inventory that triggers a new order, and it depends on the demand rate, the lead time, and the safety stock. The ROP is not affected by the lot size, unless the demand or the lead time changes. The setup time is the time required to prepare a machine or a process for production, and it is not related to the purchased lot size. Reference: EXAM CONTENT MANUAL PREVIEW, page 14, section 6.1.2. Manufacturing Planning and Control for Supply Chain Management: The CPIM Reference, Second Edition, page 433, section 12.4.
