A custom machinery manufacturer requires significant design collaboration with customers before production begins. Subassemblies are not built until the final design is approved by the client. Under SCOR Level-2 categorizations, which 'Make' process type accurately describes this environment?
Show answer details
Correct answer: C
The scenario describes an Engineer-to-Order (ETO) environment, which is codified as sM3. In ETO, the product requires unique engineering design or significant customization based on customer specifications before production can commence. Make-to-Order (sM2) uses standard designs but waits for an order to assemble.

A multinational electronics manufacturer is mapping its end-to-end supply chain processes to identify areas for improvement. The performance team has decided to utilize the SCOR framework to establish a common language across all regional divisions. Which of the following accurately describes the intended scope of the SCOR model in this context?
Show answer details
Correct answer: C
The SCOR model manages the business activities associated with all phases of satisfying a customer's demand, specifically from opportunity to payment. It spans all customer interactions (order entry through paid invoice), physical material transactions, and market interactions (understanding aggregate demand to fulfillment). It explicitly does NOT cover demand generation (sales/marketing), which is handled by CCOR, or product development, which is covered by PLCOR/DCOR.

A supply chain financial analyst is reviewing the recent quarterly performance for a global distributor. The executive team is concerned about liquidity and working capital. The analyst extracts the following financial metrics from the ERP system:
- Days Sales Outstanding (DSO): 42 days
- Days Payable Outstanding (DPO): 35 days
- Gross Inventory: $15,000,000
- Cost of Goods Sold (COGS) for the period (annualized): $120,000,000
Assuming a 365-day year, what is the company's Cash-to-Cash Cycle Time (AM.1.1)?

Correct answer: A
First, calculate Inventory Days of Supply (IDOS): (Gross Inventory / Annualized COGS) * 365 = ($15,000,000 / $120,000,000) * 365 = 0.125 * 365 = 45.625 days. Next, calculate Cash-to-Cash Cycle Time: DSO + IDOS - DPO = 42 + 45.625 - 35 = 52.625 days. This metric falls under the Asset Management Efficiency attribute (AM.1.1).

The SCOR framework organizes its performance attributes into customer-focused and internal-focused categories. A supply chain manager is developing a balanced scorecard for the organization and needs to select metrics that specifically measure the internal efficiency and financial health of the supply chain.
Which TWO of the following performance attributes are classified as internal-focused in the SCOR v12.0 model? (Select TWO)
Show answer details
Correct answer: C, E
According to the SCOR v12.0 reference model, Reliability, Responsiveness, and Agility are considered customer-focused attributes. Cost and Asset Management Efficiency are considered internal-focused attributes. Cost measures the expenses associated with operating the supply chain processes (e.g., COGS, Total SCM Costs).
Asset Management Efficiency is an internal-focused attribute that measures the ability to efficiently utilize assets. Metrics include Inventory Days of Supply, Cash-to-Cash Cycle Time, and Return on Supply Chain Fixed Assets.
