NPMA CPPA questions with verified answers
Explain the ABC classification and how it impacts inventory control.
Ans✓✓✓ Category A - High-value, low-quantity items (~75% of total
cost, 10% of stock). Requires strict control & frequent reviews.
Category B - Moderate-value items (~15% of total cost, 15% of stock).
Quarterly/semi-annual review needed.
Category C - Low-value, high-quantity items (~10% of total cost, 75%
of stock). Requires less oversight; reviewed annually.
How can organizations reduce fuel costs in fleet operations? Ans✓✓✓
Use fuel-efficient vehicles (hybrids, EVs).
Implement GPS tracking to optimize routes.
Reduce vehicle idling time.
Conduct driver training to improve fuel-efficient driving habits.
How did NPMA contribute to standardization? Ans✓✓✓ In 1998,
NPMA took a leadership role in developing property management
standards.
It partnered with ASTM International to create Committee E53 on
Property Management Systems.
It worked to fill gaps in property management best practices and

How does asset management contribute to cost reduction? Ans✓✓✓
Reduces waste and duplication of assets.
Enables reutilization of equipment.
Optimizes maintenance schedules to extend asset life.
Minimizes over-purchasing by tracking inventory accurately.
How does Cost-Benefit Analysis (CBA) help in decision-making?
Ans✓✓✓ Weighs risk mitigation costs against potential loss savings.
How does GPS tracking improve fleet efficiency? Ans✓✓✓ Reduces
unauthorized use and improves route planning.
Monitors driver behavior (speeding, braking, idling).
Provides real-time diagnostics for maintenance alerts.
How does property management support organizational goals?
Ans✓✓✓ Aligns asset use with strategic plans.
Ensures efficient resource allocation.
Reduces financial risks through proper oversight.
How does the Clean Air Act (CAA) regulate emissions? Ans✓✓✓ It
sets limits on pollutants, enforces vehicle and industrial emission
standards, and requires permits for major pollution sources.
