Discuss APICS CTSC Exam Topic 1 Question 6

Which of the following terms is used in the SCOR model to prioritize metrics and estimate target performance level?

AValue-added

BAbove par

CSuperior

DOptimized

Suggested Answer: D

According to the ASCM SCOR Digital Standard, the SCOR model uses the term optimized to indicate the highest level of performance for a given metric. Optimized metrics are those that are prioritized by the organization and have a target performance level that is based on the best-in-class benchmark or the desired competitive advantage. The SCOR model defines six levels of performance for each metric: inferior, poor, nominal, competitive, advantage, and optimized (p. 17) 1. The other options are not used in the SCOR model to prioritize metrics and estimate target performance level.

I’m leaning towards "Superior," but I also have a nagging feeling that it might not be the correct answer.

I feel like "Above par" could be a term used in some context, but it doesn't seem to fit with SCOR metrics.

I remember practicing a question about SCOR metrics, and "Optimized" sounds familiar, but I can't recall if it's the right choice here.

Wait, I'm not sure about that. Doesn't the bank have to return the excess amount over the loan value to the borrower? I'll need to double-check the rules on this.

Lai 1 year ago

I remember we discussed updating the risk assessment when introducing new products or services. That seems relevant here.

Ilene 1 year ago

I'm a bit unsure about this one. The options seem similar, so I'll need to really focus on the differences between picklist, object lookup, and type in to determine the right answer.
