Knowledge quiz
It's time to put what you've learned to the test, get 7 right to pass this unit.
1.
Why do you use the Inventory Analysis app?
Choose the correct answer.
With the Inventory Analysis app, you cannot spontaneously generate scenarios for inventory-related changes to input demand, supply, and policy variables.
With the Inventory Analysis app, you can spontaneously generate scenarios for inventory-related changes to input demand, supply, and policy variables.
2.
Where can you analyze inventory planning results?
Choose the correct answer.
Analytics and Dashboards, Excel UI, Planner Workspace.
In SAP ERP transaction MP33.
3.
Why do we use the Supply Chain Network Visualization?
Choose the correct answer.
1) Data validation and topology validation; 2) End-to-end supply chain visualization; and, 3) Visualization of the distribution of different key figures across the supply chain.
1) Run a global inventory optimization, and 2) Run a target inventory components calculation
4.
Total cost of inventory is a very important variable within the optimization model at this stage. Why do we need to consider this variable within the model?
Choose the correct answer.
We cannot estimate the costs associated to inventory.
Analysis is not needed.
The analyses are aimed at reducing the total cost of inventory while maintaining the desired level of customer service.
5.
What are the results you can access through the Inventory Analysis app?
Choose the correct answer.
The app creates the analysis and opens the input view, where you can edit your analysis before running it.
The app does not create an analysis where you can edit your analysis before running it
6.
Do all simulations need to be prepared upfront in configuration?
Choose the correct answer.
Yes.
No.
7.
What is the main purpose of the Inventory Analysis app?
Choose the correct answer.
The Inventory Analysis app allows you to uncover the impact of certain scenarios, compared either to the baseline planning scenario or other scenarios, learn which inventory input variables have an impact on inventory plans, and determine sensitivity of input variables to baseline planning outputs.
The Inventory Analysis app does not allow the impact of certain scenarios, compared either to the baseline planning scenario nor other scenarios.
8.
How can the main settings of the planning operators executed via application job app be influenced?
Choose the correct answer.
Via global parameter.
Via inventory profile.
