For an organization considering supply chain transformation, what is the main reason to evaluate current sales and operations planning (S&OP) processes?

  1. The S&OP process is not linked to transformation, so it does not need to be evaluated.
  2. The S&OP process can give an advantage of linking between supply and demand in a transformation.
  3. Since S&OP is part of the inventory strategy, reducing inventories will be an advantage in a transformation.
  4. S&OP can be linked to potential constraints and should be evaluated as part of the transformation initiative.

Answer(s): B

Explanation:

According to the ASCM CTSC Exam Content Manual, one of the benefits of a mature S&OP process is to enable the alignment of supply and demand plans with the strategic objectives of the organization1. This can help to optimize the use of resources, reduce costs, improve customer service, and increase profitability. Therefore, evaluating the current S&OP process can help an organization to identify the gaps and opportunities for improvement in a supply chain transformation initiative.

For customized offerings with infrequent demand, which operating model should be chosen?

  1. Make-to-stock (MTS)
  2. Make-to-order (MTO)
  3. Configure-to-order (CTO)
  4. Engineer-to-order (ETO)

Answer(s): D

Explanation:

ETO is an operating model that involves designing and producing customized products or services based on the specific requirements of each customer1. ETO is suitable for customized offerings with infrequent demand, as it allows the organization to create unique and differentiated value propositions for each customer, and to avoid holding excess inventory of products that may not sell well2. ETO also enables the organization to leverage its engineering and innovation capabilities, and to charge a premium price for its customized solutions3. The other options are not suitable for customized offerings with infrequent demand, as they involve standardizing some or all of the production process, which reduces the degree of customization and differentiation. MTS is an operating model that involves producing products in advance based on forecasted demand, and then selling them from stock1. MTO is an operating model that involves producing products only after receiving a customer order, but using standardized components and processes1. CTO is an operating model that involves producing products based on a customer order, but using a predefined set of options and configurations1.

Which of the following behaviors is the best example of a digital supply chain integrator?

  1. Timely communication of issues through functional silos made electronically
  2. Reaching across functional and technological boundaries to seek information and understanding
  3. Sharing updates of digital supply chain projects though intranet and e-newsletters
  4. Conducting regular training programs for all employees on the company's supply chain tools

Answer(s): B

Explanation:

According to the ASCM CTSC Exam Content Manual, a digital supply chain integrator is a role that involves connecting the digital and physical supply chain elements, and enabling the flow of data and information across the end-to-end supply chain1. This requires reaching across functional and technological boundaries to seek information and understand-ing, and to collaborate with internal and external partners to optimize the supply chain performance2. The other options are not specific to the digital supply chain in-tegrator role, as they are common behaviors for any supply chain professional.1: ASCM CTSC Exam Content Manual, page 9. 2: 3
