QUESTION: 53

Decommissioning, removal and disposal of assets may have impact on the environment. An organisation should have policies and procedures in place to enhance its environmental performance.
Which standard family provides the guidance on environmental policies and procedures?

ISO 22000 family
ISO 9000 family
ISO 14000 family
ISO 27000 family

Answer(s): C

Explanation:

The ISO 14000 family of standards are developed by ISO Technical Committee ISO/TC 207 and its various subcommittees. For a full list of published standards in the series see their standards catalogue. ISO 14001 provides requirements with guidance for use that relate to environmental systems. Other standards in the family focus on specific approaches such as audits, communications, labelling and life cycle analysis, as well as environmental challenges such as climate change. ISO 27000 family of standards concerns information technology, with the goal of improving security and protecting company assets. Started in 2005, the two most popular standards are ISO 27001:2013 and 27002:2013. 27001 is management-based system, whereas 27002 is a technical document, focused on the individual and putting a code of conduct in place. Organizations can choose either standard; ISO 27001 has over 22,000 certifications worldwide. It is a broad standard, and for this reason the certification can be customized to fit the needs of the organization, and is not mandatory. ISO 22000 sets out the requirements for a food safety management system and can be certified to it. It maps out what an organization needs to do to demonstrate its ability to control food safety hazards in order to ensure that food is safe. It can be used by any organization regardless of its size or position in the food chain.
ISO 9001 is a family of quality management standards, there are fourteen in total. Of these, ISO 9001:2015 is the only one that can be certified to. It was first published in 1987, and has since been updated about every 7 years. The standard details how to put a Quality Management System (QMS) in place to better prepare your organization to produce quality products and services. It is customer focused, and places an emphasis on continuous improvement and top management processes that extended throughout the organization.

QUESTION: 54

In the Appendix A of a long-term supply contract of Bulk Drug Substance, both parties agree that "The reference price for Bulk Product at the specification, per gram, shall be US$10. The unit price for Bulk Product for a specific Purchase Order shall be computed by multiplying the above- specified reference price by two corrective factors, namely inflation correction factor and exchange rate correction factor". This pricing appendix is an example of...?

Discounted pricing
Fixed pricing
Volume-based pricing
Adjustable pricing

Answer(s): D

Explanation:

Price setting mechanisms fall into two main categories: fixed and variable. A fixed price mecha-nism is a straightforward concept which typically results in a relatively stable budget that can be forecast.

Variable mechanisms have an element of variable pricing per unit bought. Setting a fixed price mechanism is in theory a relatively simple and straightforward concept, where the collector and the buyer agree on a fixed price for a specific material or mix of materials, for a certain length of time.
All other pricing mechanisms that are not fixed have an element of variable pricing per unit bought. The most common variable pricing mechanisms can be divided into two groups:
1. Where the benefit accruing to the buyer from acquiring the material is used to calculate what the payment to the seller should be; or Approaches to Materials Sales: A guide for local authorities
2. Where the price paid is indexed to a published source of market price information. The above scenario demonstrates variable pricing mechanism using published sources on inflation rate and exchange rate. CIPS also refers this mechanism as adjustable prices.

QUESTION: 55

Which of the following allow the operators to access higher levels in warehouse facility? Select TWO that apply:

Carousel
Grab
Order picker
Scissor platform
Stacker crane

Answer(s): C,D

Explanation:

It is important to ensure safe working in storage facilities, and access to higher shelves or racking presents a challenge. Lifting at full reach becomes a problem at relative low weight. There can also be danger for other workers who are around someone working at height, from the movement of equipment or dropping stock from a height.
Scissor platforms are used in high-roof warehouses to gain access to lighting, high-racking units and sections of wall and roof.

ORDER PICKER is manual or powered device - some with ride-on capability and some without. This allow for low-level, medium-level and high-level picking of various items. Many are equipped with forks to allow transfer capability of larger picked boxes. Higher-level and narrow or very narrow - aisle versions have the ability to elevate operators on the front platform to higher racking to pick items.

Grabs are designed to hold stock either width-wise or from above. These are either specific devices designed for grabbing materials or are available as an accessory to forklift trucks.

Carousels are space-efficient, rotating devices which allow access to a large range of product from a single location. Designs are variable, with carousels rotating horizontally or vertically until the required items can be retrieved.

Stacker-cranes are designed for the automated storage and retrieval of unit loads, in high-bay warehouses. They travel in aisles equipped with guide rails, electrical supply, data transmission and control systems. To ensure the storage and retrieval functions, the stacker-crane carries out three types of movement : long-travel, lifting and picking.

QUESTION: 56

Which of the following best describes category 'A' in ABC analysis in inventory management?

Items that represent approximately 15% of total value
Items with low uncertainty
Items with high values
Items with high uncertainty

Answer(s): C

Explanation:

ABC classifications are applied to stock and its management is based loosely on the Pareto princi-ple, better known as the 80/20 rule.
The likely outcome of analysis of inventory (value importance):
- Category A - about 20% of the stock items account for about 80% of the total inventory value. Items in category A have the highest value.
- Category B - about 30% of items account for about 15% of total inventory value
- Category C - the remaining 50% of items account for 5% of the total inventory value
