CPIM PART 2 PRACTICE EXAM QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
which of the following is the most appropriate first step in a significant organizational
change? - establishing a sense of urgency that changes needed
which of the following actions is most effective when load chronically exceeds average
capacity - revising the master schedule
continuous production processes would be most appropriate for which of the following -
generation of electric power
a plant refines a raw material until a bulk liquid chemical using a highly automated
production process. which of the following would be the most appropriate operational
unit of measure for capacity and load in this situation - gallons of the bulk chemical
which of the following data elements is required to backward schedule work orders for
component parts in a push production environment - current backlog for required work
centers
fail safe work methods include which of the following activities - installing poka -yoke
distribution requirements planning provides direct input into which of the following
functions in the manufacturing planning and control system - Master production
scheduling
a company uses centralized planning at the manufacturing site for distribution system
replenishment decisions. how is the reorder point typically established for this type of
planning - when the projected available balance for a future given period is negative or
below the safety stock level
a company competes in an industry that serves other manufacturers. their customers
play a significant role in defining requirements, and most products have a 7 to 10 year
life. what is the most likely advantage a company in this industry would realize from
having a fast product and service design process - it can delay start of design and still
meet the demand
the five forces model - considers the impact of buyers on competition
all of the following activities focus on promoting supply chain efficiencies except -
building in redundancies
module 4, section f, topic 6
a company's competitive approach in product offerings to fit specific market conditions
in each host country would be an example of - a localized multi country strategy
, module 1 section c topic 2
which of the following inventory evaluation methods best measures falling cost -
standard cost
module 3 section A topic 3
objectives of the detailed capacity requirements planning process include all the
following except - determination of the materials needed to make the products in the
master production schedule
explanation: The role of planning the materials to build parents and sub-assemblies
belongs to the material requirements planning process, not the capacity planning
process
module 3 section F topic 2
in an emerging market for a new product, financially strong companies post which of the
following risk to initial front runners - acquiring operations of weaker competitors
module 1 section c topic 2
what is a lean kaizen event - rapid improvement of a limited process area, for example,
a production cell, with the objective of eliminating non-value added work
module 4 section f topic 4
which manufacturing system is characterized by the emergence of standard designs,
price competition, and importance of processed development. it is in which stage of the
life cycle - growth
module 1 section b topic 2
a master production schedule should be loaded to a level that is - no greater than can
be realistically produced
module 2 section g topic 1
a planner has reviewed a planned order for 100 units and released it for 90 units due to
a shortage for one component. The order would appear in the material or requirements
planning grid is which of the following after the release - scheduled receipt
module 3 section d topic 2
improvement programs in a manufacturing company have increased efficiency 10% and
utilization 5%. what is the effect on theoretical capacity - it remains constant
