As an organization transforms its processes to be more sustainable, it should evaluate its practices in which three major categories?

  1. Suppliers, Governance, and Environment
  2. Technology, Workforce, and Strategy
  3. Ecological, Ethical, and Economic
  4. Plan, Source, and Fulfill

Answer(s): C

Explanation:

According to the ASCM CTSC Exam Content Manual, ecological, ethical, and economic are the three major categories of practices that an organization should evaluate as it transforms its processes to be more sustainable. These categories are also known as the triple bottom line of sustainability, which measures the social, environmental, and financial impacts of an organization's activities1. Ecological practices refer to the environmental aspects of sustainability, such as reducing greenhouse gas emissions, waste, and resource consumption, and enhancing biodiversity and ecosystem services12. Ethical practices refer to the social aspects of sustainability, such as respecting human rights, labor standards, and diversity, and promoting health, safety, and well-being of employees and communities13. Economic practices refer to the financial aspects of sustainability, such as creating value for stakeholders, ensuring fair and transparent transactions, and investing in innovation and development14.

When designing a new demand-driven supply chain, at what point should available technologies be evaluated?

  1. Technologies should be selected first, and then the supply chain should be designed around the technologies.
  2. Technology selection and supply chain design should occur over the same time period.
  3. Technologies should be evaluated after the supply chain is designed.
  4. Technology selection is not part of the new demand-driven supply chain process.

Answer(s): C

Explanation:

According to the ASCM CTSC Exam Content Manual, when designing a new demand-driven supply chain, technologies should be evaluated after the supply chain is designed. This is because the supply chain design should be based on the customer needs, the business strategy, and the supply chain capabilities, not on the available technologies1. The technologies should be selected to support and enable the supply chain processes, not to dictate or constrain them1. Evaluating technologies after the supply chain is designed can help to avoid unnecessary costs, complexity, and risks, and to ensure alignment and integration across the supply chain network1.

The SCOR level 1 metrics for the performance attribute of Cost are:

  1. total supply chain management and cost of goods sold (COGS).
  2. total supply chain management, COGS, and cash-to-cash cycle time.
  3. earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT) as a percent of revenue and COGS.
  4. total supply chain management and cash-to-cash cycle time.

Answer(s): A

Explanation:

the SCOR level 1 metrics for the performance attribute of Cost are total supply chain management and cost of goods sold (COGS). Cost is defined as "the costs associated with operating the supply chain, including labor, material, and transportation"2. Total supply chain management cost (TSCM/CO.1.1) is "the sum of the costs associated with the SCOR Level 2 processes to Plan, Source, Deliver, and Return"2. Cost of goods sold (COGS/CO.1.2) is "the direct costs attributable to the production of the goods sold by a company"3. These metrics measure the financial efficiency and effectiveness of the supply chain processes and activities14.

Which of the following entry criteria must be met before initiating a supply chain transformation project?

  1. Network configuration modifications
  2. An implementation roadmap
  3. Information technology (IT) adjustment
  4. Skills and resources changes

Answer(s): B

Explanation:

According to the CTSC Exam Content Manual, one of the entry criteria that must be met before initiating a supply chain transformation project is an implementation roadmap1. An implementation roadmap is a document that outlines the scope, objectives, activities, deliverables, milestones, resources, and risks of the transformation project1. An implementation roadmap helps to guide and monitor the execution of the project, as well as to communicate and align the expectations and responsibilities of the stakeholders1. The other options are not entry criteria that must be met before initiating a supply chain transformation project, as they are more related to the outcomes or the actions of the project. Network configuration modifications, information technology (IT) adjustment, and skills and resources changes are examples of the changes that may result from the supply chain transformation project, but they are not prerequisites for starting the project2.
