It's time to put what you've learned to the test, get 8 right to pass this unit.
1.
What is the sequence of the inventory planning functions?
Choose the correct answer.
1) Global (multi-stage) inventory optimization; and then 2) Calculate target inventory components or activate the decomposed (single-stage) inventory optimization.
1) Forecast Error Calculation; 2) Global (multi-stage) inventory optimization; and then 3) Calculate target inventory components or activate the decomposed (single-stage) inventory optimization.
2.
What are the cycle stock key drivers?
Choose the correct answer.
Replenishment frequency, demand, and batch size
Pipeline stock and safety stock
3.
What are two important questions to characterize and to define the safety stock?
Choose the correct answer.
1) Where do we need the safety stock?, 2) How much time do I have to invest to keep the safety stock?
1) How often do situations occur in which the safety stock is needed at all?, 2) In how many of these cases is the amount of safety stock not sufficient to satisfy the requirement?
4.
What are the pipeline stock key drivers?
Choose the correct answer.
Pipeline stock key drivers are: lead time and demand
Cycle stock and safety stock
5.
Which of the following inputs is mandatory for the calculation of recommended safety stock?
Choose the correct answer.
Forecast error
Available work center capacity
Number of production resource tools
6.
Why are periods between reviews (PBRs) important for the inventory planning process?
Choose the correct answer.
Periods between review are not relevant for the inventory planning process.
Periods between review are increasing the forecast accuracy.
Periods between review increase the uncertainty period for which the inventory quantity needs to be sufficient to be able to deliver.

There are three correct answers.
Cycle
Pipeline
Safety
8.
An order cycle changes from once per week to once per month. Which type of inventory is most impacted?
There are two correct answers.
Cycle
Pipeline

There are two correct answers.
Pipeline
Cycle
Safety
10.
What is the safety stock in this model when there is zero variability?
Choose the correct answer.
100
None, assuming no variability
