,Q1 ANALYZE AND OPTIMIZE LOGISTICS PROCESSES USING LEAN PRINCIPLES AND TOOLS
A logistics network redesign aims to minimize total landed cost while maintaining
a 98% service level. Which combination of factors should be prioritized to achieve
the greatest reduction in total landed cost without sacrificing service?
A. Increasing inventory levels at distribution centers
B. Consolidating shipments and optimizing modal mix CORRECT
C. Reducing the number of warehouses to one central hub
D. Implementing a cross-docking strategy for all products
RATIONALE: Consolidating shipments and optimizing modal mix reduces transportation costs
while maintaining service levels. Increasing inventory raises holding costs; a single hub may
increase transit times; cross-docking may not suit all products.
Q2 ANALYZE AND OPTIMIZE LOGISTICS PROCESSES USING LEAN PRINCIPLES AND TOOLS
In a value stream map, the ratio of value-added time to total lead time is 0.15. The
team identifies that 40% of non-value-added time is due to waiting between
processes. If the total lead time is 20 days, what is the maximum potential
reduction in lead time if waiting is completely eliminated?
A. 6.8 days CORRECT
B. 8.0 days
C. 5.2 days
D. 10.0 days
RATIONALE: Non-value-added time = 20 * (1 - 0.15) = 17 days. Waiting = 0.40 * 17 = 6.8 days.
Eliminating waiting reduces lead time by 6.8 days.

,Q3 ANALYZE AND OPTIMIZE LOGISTICS PROCESSES USING LEAN PRINCIPLES AND TOOLS
A warehouse manager is considering a warehouse management system (WMS)
upgrade to support real-time inventory tracking. Which benefit is most directly
attributable to this technology in a lean logistics context?
A. Reduction in order picking errors CORRECT
B. Improved supplier relationship management
C. Automated demand forecasting
D. Enhanced vehicle routing optimization
RATIONALE: Real-time inventory tracking directly improves accuracy in picking and reduces
errors, a key component of lean operations (jidoka). Other options relate to different systems.
Q4 ANALYZE AND OPTIMIZE LOGISTICS PROCESSES USING LEAN PRINCIPLES AND TOOLS
A logistics provider operates a fleet of delivery vehicles. Using telematics data,
they identify that fuel consumption varies significantly among drivers. Which lean
tool would be most effective for standardizing driving behaviors to reduce fuel
waste?
A. Poka-yoke
B. Standard work CORRECT
C. Heijunka
D. 5S
RATIONALE: Standard work defines the most efficient and safe method for driving, reducing
variability. Poka-yoke prevents errors, heijunka levels production, and 5S organizes the
workplace.

, Q5 ANALYZE AND OPTIMIZE LOGISTICS PROCESSES USING LEAN PRINCIPLES AND TOOLS
A manufacturing plant uses a kanban system with a container size of 50 units.
Demand is 500 units per day, lead time is 2 days, and safety stock is 20% of
demand during lead time. How many kanban cards are needed?
A. 20
B. 24 CORRECT
C. 28
D. 30
RATIONALE: Demand during lead time = 500 * 2 = 1000. Safety stock = 0.2 * 1000 = 200. Total =
1200. Cards = = 24.
Q6 ANALYZE AND OPTIMIZE LOGISTICS PROCESSES USING LEAN PRINCIPLES AND TOOLS
In a logistics network, which metric is most effective for identifying the efficiency
of a warehouse's order picking process?
A. Order fill rate
B. Lines picked per hour CORRECT
C. Inventory accuracy
D. Dock-to-stock time
RATIONALE: Lines picked per hour directly measures the productivity of the picking operation.
Other metrics measure different aspects like service level or inventory accuracy.
