CIPS L4M6 Exam - Topic 6 Question 25 Discussion

Actual exam question for CIPS's L4M6 exam
Question #: 25
Topic #: 6
[All L4M6 Questions]

A buyer has a requirement to purchase 1,000 widgets for a manufacturing company. The widgets are critical for the next stage of the manufacturing process. What would be the key selection criterion for this buyer?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: B, C

The correct answers are information sharing and trust. Further qualitative KPIs are listed on p.102. Deliveries in full and on time would be a quantitative KPI and early supplier involvement is not a KPI at all.

I recall something about adding value being a key criterion in another question, but in this case, I think delivery is the priority since they need the widgets urgently.

Meeting ISO standards could be important too, but I feel like if they can't deliver on time, it won't matter much.

I'm not so sure about that. I remember a practice question where cost was emphasized, but I guess it depends on how urgent the need is.

I think the most important factor here is definitely the ability to deliver by the deadline. If the widgets are critical for manufacturing, timing is everything.

I think this question is asking about the different ways students can demonstrate their learning, so I'll go with option A - the 'how' of learning.

Hmm, I'm not entirely sure about this one. I know we covered electronic software updates in class, but I can't quite remember all the specific components needed. I'll have to think this through carefully.

ISO standards? More like 'I so don't care about standards right now' - just get me those widgets on time!

I'd go with low-cost widgets. The bottom line is what really matters, and the company is probably looking to save money.
