,Q1 DEMONSTRATE MASTERY OF CORE CONCEPTS
A manufacturing firm's order winners have shifted from cost to delivery speed.
Which operations strategy priority should be emphasized to align with this shift?
A. Cost reduction
B. Quality management
C. Flexibility
D. Dependability CORRECT
RATIONALE: Dependability (on-time delivery) is the order winner when customers value delivery
speed. Cost is an order qualifier, quality is a qualifier, and flexibility is not the primary driver for
speed.
Q2 DEMONSTRATE MASTERY OF CORE CONCEPTS
A process with a 90% first-pass yield and 10 sequential steps has an overall yield
closest to which value?
A. 90%
B. 35% CORRECT
C. 50%
D. 99%
RATIONALE: Rolled throughput yield = 0.9^10 0.3487, or ~35%. This reflects cumulative losses
across steps, unlike simple average yield.

,Q3 DEMONSTRATE MASTERY OF CORE CONCEPTS
A company uses a kanban system with a container size of 50 units and a lead time
of 4 hours. Demand is 200 units per hour. Using a safety factor of 10%, how many
kanban cards are needed?
A. 18 CORRECT
B. 16
C. 20
D. 14
RATIONALE: Number of kanbans = (demand × lead time × (1 + safety factor)) / container size =
(200×4×1.1)/50 = 17.6, rounded up to 18.
Q4 DEMONSTRATE MASTERY OF CORE CONCEPTS
A project has three paths: A-B-C (12 weeks), D-E-F (10 weeks), and G-H-I (9 weeks).
If activity E is delayed by 2 weeks, what is the effect on the project completion
time?
A. No effect CORRECT
B. Increases by 2 weeks
C. Project duration becomes 14 weeks
D. Critical path changes to D-E-F
RATIONALE: The critical path is A-B-C at 12 weeks. Path D-E-F has 2 weeks of slack (12-10=2).
A 2-week delay consumes slack but does not lengthen the project.

, Q5 DEMONSTRATE MASTERY OF CORE CONCEPTS
Which forecasting technique is most appropriate when historical data exhibit a
strong seasonal pattern and a moderate trend?
A. Simple moving average
B. Exponential smoothing with trend (Holt's method)
C. Holt-Winters exponential smoothing CORRECT
D. Linear regression without seasonal dummies
RATIONALE: Holt-Winters (triple exponential smoothing) captures level, trend, and seasonality.
Holt's method handles trend but not seasonality; moving average and simple regression ignore
seasonality.
Q6 DEMONSTRATE MASTERY OF CORE CONCEPTS
A bottleneck work center has a utilization of 95% and processes jobs with high
variability. Which action most directly improves throughput?
A. Increase batch sizes
B. Implement a WIP cap
C. Cross-train workers on non-bottleneck stations
D. Add buffer inventory before the bottleneck CORRECT
RATIONALE: Buffering the bottleneck protects it from variability, ensuring it stays busy, which
directly increases throughput. Increasing batch size may increase variability; WIP caps limit work;
cross-training non-bottlenecks does not address bottleneck starvation.
