質問 # 14
The types of suppliers MOST suited for regular business reviews are those providing
- A. strategic and leveraged item
- B. bottleneck and non-critical items
- C. leveraged and non-critical items
- D. bottleneck and strategic items
正解：D
解説：
Suppliers providing bottleneck and strategic items are most suited for regular business reviews because these items typically have high impact on the company's operations and can involve higher risks. Bottleneck items are critical components that can cause significant disruptions if not managed properly, and strategic items are essential for the company's competitive advantage. Regular reviews with these suppliers ensure better alignment, risk mitigation, and strategic collaboration.

質問 # 15
A supply manager Issues a Request for Information (RFI) for a customer tech support center. Limited competition exists among domestic suppliers, and the supply manager needs to obtain favorable pricing to reduce current costs. Given this situation, which of the following Is the BEST course of action for the supply manager to take?
- A. Perform a 'should-cost' analysis and negotiate with current suppliers
- B. Conduct an e-auction to encourage lower pricing via competition
- C. Expand the geographic supply base and identify additional suppliers
- D. Reduce the scope of services required and reissue the RFI
正解：C
解説：
In a situation where limited domestic competition exists and favorable pricing is required, expanding the geographic supply base to identify additional suppliers is the best course of action. This approach increases competition by including more suppliers from different regions, potentially leading to better pricing and terms.
It also provides access to a larger pool of suppliers, enhancing the chances of finding suppliers who can offer more competitive rates and better service.

質問 # 16
DEF Inc. receives several batches of inferior quality products from a supplier. Although all of the samples provided by this supplier met or exceeded specifications, it is learned that the facility used to produce the samples is in a different location than the regular production facility, and that the production environment could affect quality.
DEF could have prevented this situation by doing which of the following?
- A. Requesting larger samples from the supplier prior to going into production
- B. Placing stricter quality controls in the receiving dock to prevent defective products from being accepted into inventory
- C. Requiring the supplier to provide assurance that its products will meet the required specifications
- D. Requesting and testing samples from all possible supplier manufacturing locations
正解：D
解説：
* Requesting and Testing Samples from All Possible Supplier Manufacturing Locations: This would have ensured that DEF Inc. tested the quality of products from the actual production facility, not just the sample facility.
* Requesting Larger Samples: While this might help, it doesn't address the issue of different production environments potentially affecting quality.
* Requiring Assurance from Supplier: This is important but not sufficient by itself. The assurance doesn't substitute for actual testing from the correct facility.
* Stricter Quality Controls at Receiving Dock: This is a reactive measure and doesn't prevent the problem from occurring in the first place.

質問 # 17
A supply manager seeks bids on a new piece of capital equipment. The equipment is budgeted at $115,000.
Three suppliers send in bids of $110,000, $114,000 and 5135,000. After receiving the bids, additional negotiations with the low bidder result in a final cost of $105,000. In this situation, what should the baseline value be for calculating cost avoidance?
- A. $135,000
- B. $110,000
- C. $115,000
- D. $114,000
正解：B
解説：
* Initial Bids Review: Evaluate the bids submitted by the suppliers ($110,000, $114,000, and $135,000).
* Lowest Bid Consideration: The lowest initial bid of $110,000 should be the baseline because it represents the market's competitive price before any negotiation.
* Calculate Cost Avoidance: After negotiations, the final cost is $105,000. The cost avoidance is calculated against the $110,000 baseline, showing the savings achieved through negotiation.

質問 # 19
A supply manager for XYZ, Inc. visits a manufacturer's plant and research division for a general inspection and product review. The supply manager is required to sign in at the registration desk and must acknowledge acceptance of the standard terms of visiting. After the visit, which includes very encouraging discussions, the supply manager returns to XYZ with a sample of a new product-an expensive item of complex design with innovative features. The supply manager must take specific precautions to protect the sample because
- A. the plant sign-in may have established non-disclosure requirements
- B. evaluation of the sample might consume company resources
- C. the Truth-in-Lending Law requirements apply
- D. damage to it may result in a charge for repair
正解：A
解説：
When a supply manager visits a manufacturer's plant and signs in at the registration desk, acknowledging standard terms of visiting, there may be non-disclosure requirements involved. Specific precautions are necessary to protect the sample:
* Truth-in-Lending Law requirements: Not relevant in this context as it pertains to lending and credit.
* Evaluation of the sample might consume company resources: While true, it is not the primary concern regarding the sample's protection.
* The plant sign-in may have established non-disclosure requirements: The most critical concern as violating non-disclosure agreements can have legal and competitive implications.
* Damage to it may result in a charge for repair: Important but secondary to confidentiality concerns.
Therefore, the supply manager must take specific precautions because the plant sign-in may have established non-disclosure requirements.

* Legal considerations in supply chain management.
* Non-disclosure agreements and their implications in business visits.

質問 # 21
A machining company outsources its recycling program to a third party. The third party recycles the metals from the production area, but neglects to recycle the aluminum cans from the break room, as this stipulation was not included in the service-level agreement. This situation is MOST likely a result of the supply manager's failure to have an appropriate
- A. scope of work
- B. performance goal
- C. warranty
- D. conflict management plan
正解：A
解説：
The situation where the third party recycles metals but not aluminum cans from the break room is likely due to an incomplete scope of work. The scope of work should clearly outline all tasks and responsibilities, including specific details like recycling aluminum cans. Performance goals (Option B) and warranties (Option C) deal with performance standards and product guarantees, respectively, while a conflict management plan (Option D) addresses dispute resolutions, none of which directly relate to the failure in defining the recycling tasks.

- A. Profit repatriation

質問 # 28
An operations manager wants to replace the existing fleet of aging vehicles owned by the company. The operations manager presents the supply manager with a list denoting the quantity, makes and models currently in operation:
Quantity
Brand A - 4X4 SUVs15
Brand B - Midsize Cars5
