APICS CTSC Exam - Topic 1 Question 23 Discussion

Posted by Kenda on Sep 17, 2024 at 01:13 PM

Which of the following trends is a driver for change in agile operations execution?

Suggested Answer: A

According to the CTSC Enterprise and Supply Chain Management (ESCM) manual, perfect order fulfillment is a key performance indicator (KPI) that measures the percentage of orders that meet all the criteria for a perfect order, such as delivery time, quantity, quality, documentation, and invoice1. To calculate the perfect order fulfillment, we need to multiply the percentage of orders that meet each criterion, and then divide by 1001. In this case, the percentage of orders that meet each criterion are:

Delivery time: 94/200 = 47%

Quantity: 100/200 = 50%

Quality: (200-34)/200 = 83%

Documentation and invoice: 48/200 = 24%

Therefore, the perfect order fulfillment is:

47% x 50% x 83% x 24% / 100 = 4.7% x 24% = 1.13%

To express this as a percentage, we need to multiply by 100, so the final answer is:

1.13% x 100 = 113%

Therefore, the perfect order fulfillment for a total of 200 orders is 113%.

I disagree, B is more relevant now with sustainability trends.

A is definitely a big factor! Fast R&D is key.

D seems off; I thought blockchain was supposed to increase documentation requirements, not decrease them. This one's tricky!

C sounds familiar, but I can't recall if enhanced labeling directly impacts agile execution. It feels like a stretch to me.
SO

I remember a practice question about product complexity, and it seems like B could be relevant, but I feel like it might not capture the essence of agile operations.

I think option A makes sense because faster R&D can really push agile methods, but I'm not entirely sure if it's the main driver.
VE

I'm a bit confused by this question. The options don't seem directly related to agile operations execution. I'll need to re-read the question and think about what kinds of trends could impact that area of the business.
SA

Okay, I think I've got this. The key here is to identify a trend that would drive the need for more agile and responsive operations. Option A about faster R&D cycles seems like the most relevant one to me.
KE

Hmm, I'm not totally sure about this one. I'll need to think through the key drivers of agile operations and how they might be affected by changes in the business environment. Let me take another look at the options.

Haha, I bet the answer is actually A. Research and development cycles are fast and inexpensive? That sounds like the complete opposite of agile operations!

I disagree, I believe B is the correct option. Products becoming less complex can drive the need for agile operations.
AD
Adria 1 year ago
↳ replying to Janine
I think A is the right answer. With fast and inexpensive R&D cycles, agility in operations execution is crucial.
JO
