This comprehensive test document contains 100 fully answered and verified multiple-choice and true/false questions from MQM 227 – Operations Management, focused on key foundational and strategic topics in the course. It begins with introductory operations management concepts, including the scope of operations vs. production management, four core decision areas (process, quality, capacity, and inventory), supply chain design, and globalization. Subsequent sections test students on the development and alignment of operations strategy—covering corporate and business strategy links, order winners/qualifiers, and distinctive competencies. Product and service design principles are also thoroughly explored, with questions on Quality Function Deployment (QFD), concurrent engineering, modular and value analysis, and strategic decision-making in design. Later questions assess understanding of the product-process matrix, batch vs. continuous flow, mass customization, lean operations, throughput ratio, capacity decisions, and process alignment. The final part evaluates service operations, including high vs. low-contact service systems, customer involvement, service guarantees, the service-profit chain, and internal service quality. This material is highly beneficial for students in business, industrial engineering, supply chain management, service operations, and anyone preparing for MQM 227 exams or similar operations management courses.
