CIPS L4M7 Exam - Topic 12 Question 5 Discussion

Actual exam question for CIPS's L4M7 exam

Question #: 5
Topic #: 12

Ranger Mobile Ltd is a emerging smartphone manufacturer. The manufacturer adopts the just-in-time method: First, the customers make orders, then it will decide which components to be pur-chased according to the bill of materials. These components are known as which of the following?

AIndirect items

BCapital goods

CDependent demand items

DIndependent forecast items

Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: C

Dependent demand is the requirement for stock item which is directly related to and therefore de-pendent upon the rate of production (examples are: raw materials, components, energy). The com-ponents in the scenario are dependent demand items.

Independent demand is the requirement for stock item which is not directly related to, and is therefore independent of rate of production.

Capital goods don't fit here, right?

I thought independent forecast items were related to stock that isn't directly tied to customer orders. So, I guess that rules out option D.

This question reminds me of a practice question we did on just-in-time inventory. I believe the answer is dependent demand items, but I could be wrong.

I'm not entirely sure, but I remember something about capital goods being more about long-term assets rather than components for specific orders.

I think the components would be considered dependent demand items since they rely on the orders from customers.

Hmm, I'm a bit confused on the best approach here. Should we really be submitting a case to Salesforce Support to update the production org? That seems like it might be overkill.

Ah, the McKinsey 7S framework - I remember learning about this in class. Okay, let me think this through. The 'hard Ss' are the more tangible, structural parts of the organization, so I believe A, B, and C are the ones that apply.

I feel pretty confident about this one. The details in the question suggest that Muir likely headed to the Sierra Nevadas after arriving in San Francisco.

Hmm, I'm a bit unsure about this one. The wording is a little tricky, and I want to make sure I understand the differences between these security concepts before selecting an answer.

I feel like there was a question similar to this one in our past quizzes. Consistent provisioning definitely sounds like one of the key principles.

I think safety procedures mainly protect from bloodborne pathogens, right? We talked a lot about that in class.
