Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: A

A supplier certification program is a formal process of evaluating and approving potential suppliers based on certain criteria, such as quality, delivery, cost, and service. The purpose of a supplier certification program is to ensure that the suppliers meet the standards and expectations of the company and to reduce the risks and costs associated with poor supplier performance. A supplier certification program should start with the suppliers of ''A'' classified items, which are the most critical and valuable items for the company. These items have the highest impact on the company's profitability and customer satisfaction, and therefore require the highest level of supplier reliability and quality. By certifying the suppliers of ''A'' classified items, the company can improve its supply chain performance and reduce its dependence on inspection and corrective actions. This aligns with CPIM's focus on plan and manage supply and plan and manage distribution.Reference: The concepts are covered in detail in Module 3: Supply Management (1 and Module 7: Distribution and Logistics Management (2.

I guess the 'pull' of the correct answer was too strong for some of us. Time to 'push' ourselves to do better next time!

B) Distribution requirements planning (DRP)? What is this, a logistics exam? Clearly, the answer is C) Pull production activity control (PAC).

That may work for some situations, but PAC is more suitable for a cellular production system.

Hmm, I was torn between A) Shortest processing time (SPT) rule and C) Pull production activity control (PAC). I guess I should have trusted my gut and gone with the pull system.

Really? I was convinced that D) Push production activity control (PAC) would be the best option. Doesn't that allow for more efficient use of resources?

I think the correct answer is C) Pull production activity control (PAC). Cellular production systems are designed to be responsive to customer demand, and pull production is the most appropriate technique for managing this.
