ASCM APICS Certified Supply Chain Professional Sample Questions:

01. An automotive supplier's continuity plan lists alternative sources for every direct supplier. A fire at a plant it had never heard of stopped an assembly line for six weeks; that plant made a coating applied by a tier-two processor.
Which change to the program will do most to prevent a repeat?
a) Extend the alternative-source list to cover every supplier that has been used at any point in the past three years.
b) Require direct suppliers to carry business interruption insurance covering losses caused by their own upstream sources.
c) Map critical parts to sub-tier sites and require disclosure of them.
d) Increase inventory of the coated component so that a six-week interruption can be covered from stock.
 
02. A closed-loop supply chain differs from an open-loop recovery arrangement in that a closed loop:
a) sends recovered material to a different industry that can use it as an input.
b) returns products and materials to the original producer's own network.
c) requires that every returned unit be restored to a condition as good as new.
d) handles the flow of returned goods with the same network that ships them out.
 
03. A pump manufacturer sources castings from three qualified foundries in three countries and treats the category as multi-sourced. A mapping exercise finds that all three buy alloy from one smelter and ship through the same transshipment port.
What does the mapping exercise establish about the category?
a) Redundancy is nominal, because two shared dependencies sit beneath it.
b) The exposure is a transport risk that can be treated by qualifying an alternative transshipment port for the inbound legs.
c) The three foundries are correctly treated as independent because each holds its own qualification and contract.
d) Financial exposure is concentrated in one smelter.
 
04. A home improvement retailer's logistics manager owns a register entry for port congestion, rated within tolerance when it was written. Congestion has since pushed transit beyond the lead-time tolerance the sales director set, and the only treatment available to her, expedited freight, costs more than her budget allows.
Which course of action is best justified?
a) Ownership should move to the sales director.
b) The logistics manager should absorb the expedited freight cost within her own budget, because the exposure was assigned to her when the register entry was first written.
c) The register entry should be reassessed at the next scheduled review, once the congestion trend has become clearer.
d) The exposure should be escalated, because the breach and the cost decision exceed her authority.
 
05. An apparel and home retailer is piloting quick response (QR) replenishment with one supplier: daily point-of-sale data by color and size flows to the supplier, which ships against what actually sold rather than against a periodic order built from a pre-season forecast. Only one product line can join the pilot.
Which line fits the program?
a) The household staples line, whose weekly offtake is steady and whose forecast error is low, and whose supplier already plans long production runs against agreed minimum and maximum stock levels.
b) The private-label fashion line, whose eight-week season carries high color-level error and whose supplier can ship a re-order within two weeks.
c) The imported seasonal decorations line, whose color-level forecast error is high and whose supplier needs sixteen weeks from order to delivery against a ten-week selling season.
d) The replacement parts line, which sells a few units per store each month.
 
06. The defining benefit a buyer obtains from a formal supplier certification program is:
a) the ability to accept the supplier's shipments with reduced or no incoming inspection on the strength of demonstrated process capability.
b) a documented lift in the supplier's process capability funded by the buyer's own engineering resource.
c) a shared performance record reviewed with the supplier on a defined cadence against agreed formulas.
d) a reduction in the number of qualified suppliers for the item.
 
07. A household goods manufacturer's dashboard shows that on-time delivery to its two largest customers fell over the last two quarters. The executive team accepts the number as accurate and wants to understand what produced the decline before committing to any corrective change.
Which analytics capability answers the question the team is asking?
a) Predictive analytics, which projects the on-time performance the next two quarters are likely to produce.
b) Prescriptive analytics, which recommends a corrective allocation policy.
c) Diagnostic analytics, which drills into order and shipment data to isolate the causes.
d) Descriptive analytics, which monitors delivery performance by customer.
 
08. The board of a specialty ingredients company states that it will accept meaningful exposure in order to enter two emerging markets. Separately, the sourcing director sets a limit on how much of any critical category may be bought from one country.
Which pair of terms describes these two statements?
a) The board has stated a risk tolerance, and the sourcing director has set the organization's overall risk capacity.
b) The board has stated risk appetite, and the sourcing director has set a risk tolerance.
c) Both statements set risk tolerances at different levels.
d) Both statements express the organization's risk capacity.
 
09. After a two-week port closure, a home appliance importer's review meeting produced a timeline of events, an estimate of the lost margin, and a list of the three managers whose decisions delayed the reroute. Nothing was altered in the risk register or the continuity plan.
On what grounds should the risk committee judge this review inadequate?
a) It estimated the lost margin rather than measuring it from the closed accounting period.
b) It belongs to crisis management rather than to the risk process.
c) It allocated blame instead of producing changes to the register, the responses and the plans, so the same disruption will recur.
d) It was adequate; a timeline and a loss estimate are the required outputs.
 
10. Sourcing is brought into product development while the design is still changeable, rather than being handed a finished specification, principally because:
a) purchasing can begin supplier pre-qualification and solicitation earlier, compressing the elapsed time between design release and the first production order at the contract manufacturer.
b) design engineers can be relieved of cost estimating work that the sourcing function performs more accurately.
c) the supplier can later be held to a specification it helped to write.
d) the large majority of a product's eventual cost is committed by design decisions taken long before a price is negotiated.
