QUESTION: 9

Cleo Manufacturing has introduced a new Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) system.
Which of the following is an advantage of using this technology?

It replaces emails
It allows humans to check the work for accuracy
It is cheap to introduce
It simplifies the supply chain

Answer(s): A

Explanation:

Comprehensive and Detailed Explanation From Exact Extract:

EDI automates structured, computer-to-computer exchange of business documents (e.g., POs, ASNs, invoices), replacing manual, error-prone channels such as emails and paper and reducing rekeying/latency. It typically requires investment and integration effort; it does not remove the underlying supply chain complexity, and by design reduces--not adds--manual human checking.

QUESTION: 13

Green Frog Ltd is a consultancy with ~50 customers. The CEO plans to use a Cost-to-Serve (CTS) tool to understand customer profitability. Is this the right approach?

Yes -- Cost to Serve will allow identification of unprofitable customers
Yes -- it is expensive but provides high visibility
No -- all customers are equally profitable if they pay the same rates
No -- use Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) instead

Answer(s): A

Explanation:

Comprehensive and Detailed Explanation From Exact Extract:

Cost-to-Serve analyses end-to-end activities and resources consumed to serve specific customers or segments, exposing variation in profitability (e.g., delivery distance, visit frequency, handling complexity). It is appropriate for finding unprofitable customers. CTS is not inherently "expensive," and TCO focuses on lifecycle cost of acquiring/owning goods--not customer profitability.
