Discuss APICS CTSC Exam Topic 3 Question 47

APerform a due diligence assessment.

BConduct a staple yourself interview.

CExecute a risk and security analysis.

DPerform a network compatibility analysis.

Suggested Answer: B

According to the CTSC Enterprise and Supply Chain Management (ESCM) manual, a staple yourself interview is a technique for performing a review of a SCOR level 3 process from beginning to end1. It involves following the process as if you were the product or service being delivered, and asking questions such as: Who is involved in this process? What are they doing? Why are they doing it? How are they doing it? How long does it take? How much does it cost? What are the inputs and outputs of each activity? What are the risks and opportunities for improvement?1 This technique helps to identify the gaps, inefficiencies, and best practices in the process, and to generate insights and recommendations for improvement1.
