Download or read book DSP Certification Exams Examfocus Study Notes Review Questions 2014 written by Examreview and published by . This book was released on 2013-10-20 with total page 116 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Certified in Production and Inventory Management (CPIM) certification is essential for professionals involved in: - Production and inventory management - Operations - Supply chain management - Procurement - Materials management - Purchasing Note: CPIM is about production and inventory management. It is NOT about logistics. Experience in the field of logistics may not contribute much to exam success. Candidates must pass all five exams for the following modules in order to earn the CPIM designation: - Basics of Supply Chain Management BSCM - Master Planning of Resources MPR - Detailed Scheduling and Planning DSP - Execution and Control of Operations ECO - Strategic Management of Resources SMR The CPIM exams have a lot of questions that ask for your "best decisions" (i.e. how you will tackle a situation in a production environment). In fact, of the questions you will encounter in the exams, a significant portion of them requires that you pick the best possible options. These best options are often based on experience and best practices not easily found in the standard exam text books. This ExamFOCUS Study Notes build a solid focus while revisiting key examination topics relevant to the second and third CPIM modules - MPR and DSP. Whether you are just starting to study, cramming at the last minute, or simply looking to refresh, this could prove to be a lifesaver! To succeed in the MPR/DSP exams, you need to get yourself truly familiar with the most important information by going through sufficiently focused revision. This is where we fill the gap - you may think of our product as the unofficial supplement to the regular training class, or you may view it as a standalone module with a focus on building up your exam readiness.

Download or read book Cpim Certification Exam Examfocus Study Notes Review Questions 2018 19 written by Examreview and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2018-03-09 with total page 150 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A supply chain is a network of retailers, distributors, transporters, storage facilities and suppliers that participate in the sale, delivery and production of a particular product. The concept of supply chain often involves backward integration - acquiring ownership of one's supply chain (in the hope of reducing supplier power and thus reducing input costs). The four major functional components are: demand planning manufacturing planning and scheduling supply planning transportation planning The reconfigured module 1 BSCM exam covers the basics. The exam attempts to test your basic understanding towards supply chain and the various PIM (production and inventory management) concepts. Many people consider this exam as the easiest one. To assure exam success, you need to read and learn as much as possible. Our ExamFOCUS notes provides knowledge material to enhance your exam readiness - we help answer those tough questions that cover advanced knowledge and concepts not commonly found in the standard study material. Still, the coverage of the exam is huge. Expecting full and complete coverage of all the knowledge items from a single source is unrealistic. You are therefore advised to use this book together with other study resources for the best possible preparation!

Book Cpim Part 2 Module 1 Certification Exam Examfocus Study Notes   Review Questions 2018 19

Download or read book Cpim Part 2 Module 1 Certification Exam Examfocus Study Notes Review Questions 2018 19 written by Examreview and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2018-03-12 with total page 186 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: SMR was the final module to take in the past. Now it becomes module 1 of the new part 2 exam. Is it tough? Well, in a sense, yes. It is tough because there is no fixed answer to the test questions. You are asked to choose the best possible answer among all potentially OK answers. Also, most questions are long and with complicated scenarios to confuse you. To pick up the "politically correct" answers you have to use your business sense to make judgment on a case by case basis. SMR is all about supply-side management at a higher global and strategic level. What is serious supply management all about? Accenture has developed seven principles of supply-chain management: 1. Segment customers based on their service needs. 2. Design the logistics network based on service requirements. 3. Listen to the signals of market demand and plan accordingly. 4. Differentiate products based on actual consumer demand. 5. Strategically manage the sources of supply. 6. Develop a supply-chain-wide technology strategy. 7. Adopt measures that apply to every link in the supply chain. Because of advances in manufacturing and distribution, the cost of developing new products and services is dropping, and time to market is speeding up. This has resulted in increasing customer demands, local and global competition, and increased pressure on the supply chain. To stay competitive, companies must reinvent themselves so that the supply chain-sourcing and procurement, production scheduling, order fulfillment, inventory management, and customer care-is no longer a cost-based back-office exercise, but rather a flexible operation designed to effectively address today's challenges. If you have been specializing in manufacturing or shop floor functions, it is now the time to move yourself to a managerial position - you need to see things from a broader MBA style perspective.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: High-Tech and High-Touch Logistics Solutions for Supply Chain Challenges In today's fast-paced and customer-oriented business environment, superior supply chain performance is a prerequisite to getting and staying competitive. Supply Chain Strategy is based on world-class logistics practices in place in successful supply chain organizations, the latest academic breakthroughs in logistics system design, and the logic of logistics. It presents the proven pillars of success in logistics and supply chain management.

The methodology leads to metrics, process designs, system designs, and organizational strategies for total supply chain management, total logistics management, customer response, inventory planning and management, supply, transportation, and warehousing. Concise yet complete, Dr. Frazelle's book shows how to develop a comprehensive logistics and supply chain strategy, one that will both complement and support a company's strategic objectives and long-term success. Logisticsthe flow of material, information, and money between consumers and suppliershas become a key boardroom topic. It is the subject of cover features in business publications from Wall Street Journal to BusinessWeek. Annual global logistics expenditures exceed $3.5 trillion, nearly 20 percent of the world's GDP, making logistics perhaps the last frontier for major corporations to significantly increase shareholder and customer value. And at the heart of every effort to improve organizational logistics performance? Supply chain efficiency. Supply Chain Strategy is today's most comprehensive resource for up-to-the-minute thinking and practices on developing supply chain strategies that support a company's overall objectives. Covering world-class practices and systems, taken from the files of Coca-Cola, Wal-Mart, General Electric, and other companies, it covers essential supply chain subjects including: Logistics data miningfor identifying the root cause of material and information flow problems, pinpointing opportunities for process improvements, and providing an objective basis for project-team decision making Inventory planning and managementpresenting metrics, processes, and systems for forecasting, demand planning, and inventory control, yielding lower inventory levels and improved customer service Logistics information systems and Web-based logisticshelping to substitute information for inventory and work content Transportation and distributionfor connecting sourcing locations with customers at the lowest cost by, among other things, leveraging private and third-party transportation systems Logistics organization developmentincluding the seven disciplines that link enterprises across the supply chain, as well as logistics activities within those enterprises Supply Chain Strategy explains and demonstrates how decision makers can use today's technology to enhance key logistics systems at every point in the supply chain, from the time an idea or product is conceived through its delivery to the final user. It describes the major steps in developing an effective, workable logistics management programone that will reduce operating expenses, minimize capital investment, and improve overall customer service and satisfaction.
