This document presents 100 fully verified multiple-choice and true/false questions from Test 3 of MQM 227 – Operations Management at Illinois State University. It assesses comprehensive knowledge across advanced operations topics, starting with Hau Lee’s supply chain uncertainty framework, the Bullwhip Effect, and Fisher’s product categories. Students will analyze outsourcing motivations, ownership and holding costs, and inventory systems including EOQ, ABC classification, and the fixed-order and fixed-time models. A significant portion of the test covers Material Requirements Planning (MRP), including BOM files, product trees, lot-for-lot sizing, inventory status records, and MRP outputs like exception reports. Learners are also tested on scheduling systems (finite vs. infinite loading, forward and backward scheduling), workcenter scheduling objectives, priority rules (SOT, STR/OP), and sequencing methods like Johnson’s Rule. The final segment focuses on the Theory of Constraints (TOC), including throughput, net profit, process time, and Goldratt’s production scheduling principles. This resource is ideal for students in operations management, supply chain, production planning, and industrial engineering, preparing them for both conceptual mastery and real-world applications.
