A company wishes to extend its responsive demand-supply matching (RDSM) capabilities to include predictive maintenance of its delivery trucks. This indicates additional focus on which digital discipline?

  1. Sense
  2. Collaborate
  3. Optimize
  4. Respond

Answer(s): C

Explanation:

According to the CTSC Exam Content Manual1, the optimize digital discipline focuses on using data and analytics to improve operational efficiency and effectiveness, such as predictive maintenance, asset utilization, and resource allocation. Responsive demand-supply matching (RDSM) is a capability that falls under the optimize discipline, as it aims to balance supply and demand in real time using data-driven insights and actions. Extending RDSM to include predictive maintenance of delivery trucks would indicate additional focus on the optimize discipline, as it would help reduce downtime, costs, and risks associated with truck breakdowns.

Best-in-class companies consistently and significantly do better than their competitors because they:

  1. remove industry bias and generate graphical and analytical summaries.
  2. utilize benchmark supply chain metrics to gauge performance.
  3. use more cutting edge technology compared to their peers.
  4. streamline supply chain practices for delivering products and services.

Answer(s): B

Explanation:

According to the CTSC Exam Content Manual1, best-in-class companies consistently and significantly do better than their competitors because they utilize benchmark supply chain metrics to gauge performance. Benchmarking is the process of comparing one's own performance with that of other organizations or industry standards, and identifying the best practices and gaps for improvement. Benchmarking helps best-in-class companies to set realistic and achievable goals, monitor progress, and drive continuous improvement.

Which of the following models explains how accidents happen in complex systems?

  1. Continuous flow
  2. Fast chain
  3. Herringbone
  4. Swiss cheese

Answer(s): D

Explanation:

According to the CTSC Ex-am Content Manual1, the Swiss cheese model is one of the accident models that explains how accidents happen in complex systems. The model compares the system to a stack of slices of Swiss cheese, where each slice represents a layer of defense or protection against hazards. The holes in the cheese represent weaknesses or failures in each layer. Normally, the holes do not align and the system is safe. However, when the holes align, a hazard can penetrate through the layers and cause an accident. The model illustrates how multiple factors and conditions can combine to create a pathway for an accident.

Functional products would be best suited for what type of supply chain?

  1. Responsive
  2. Efficient
  3. Customer-focused
  4. Agile

Answer(s): B

Explanation:

According to the CTSC Exam Content Manual1, functional products are products that have stable and predictable demand, low product variety, long life cycles, and low profit margins. They would be best suited for an efficient supply chain, which focuses on minimizing costs, maximizing asset utilization, and optimizing processes. An efficient supply chain would have high capacity utilization, low inventory levels, long production runs, and standardized products and services.
