Question 1

In a logistics system, if the production rate increases, which of the following is true?



Answer : C

Comprehensive and Detailed Explanation From Exact Extract:

An increase in the production rate generally leads to an increase in the workload arrival rate --- the rate at which items or tasks enter the system for processing. This relationship reflects flow interdependence between system inputs and production capacity. The relationship among production rate, throughput rate, and waiting rate is visually represented in logistics process flow diagrams.

(Reference: CIPS L5M10 Study Guide, Flow management and capacity relationships, p. 132)


Question 2

In an MRP system, which inputs need to be programmed into the system in order to generate a purchase order for new stock? Select THREE



Answer : A, B, C

Comprehensive and Detailed Explanation From Exact Extract:

Core inputs to MRP include the Master Production Schedule (MPS), master/engineered production levels and the Bill of Materials (BOM). Items like the production plan and materials movement plan are outputs/derived plans produced by running the MRP logic. (CIPS L5M10 Study Guide, p. 171)


Question 3

Customer service levels can be measured using Service Level Agreements (SLAs). Which of the following are ''hard'' measures typically found in an SLA? Select THREE



Answer : A, C, D

Comprehensive and Detailed Explanation From Exact Extract:

''Hard'' measures are objective, quantifiable performance indicators---typical logistics/service measures include stock availability, first-time fix rate, and on-time delivery. Measures such as complaint seriousness and perceived satisfaction are ''soft'' (more subjective) but still useful. (Reference: CIPS L5M10 Study Guide, SLAs---hard vs soft measures, p. 60)


Question 4

Bradbury's Ltd manufactures chocolate and uses an ERP system. Which of the following would be included in the Master Production Schedule (MPS)?



Answer : C

Comprehensive and Detailed Explanation From Exact Extract:

The MPS defines what products will be made, in what quantities, and when. It is driven by sales forecasts, existing inventory, and resource capacity. Ingredients (A) are part of the Bill of Materials, not the MPS.

(Reference: CIPS L5M10 Study Guide, Master Production Scheduling, p. 180)


Question 5

Of the following items, which is not recyclable?



Answer : D

Comprehensive and Detailed Explanation From Exact Extract:

Agricultural products like pesticides are classified as hazardous substances and cannot be recycled.

Plastics and industrial catalysts can be recycled.

Solvents are technically recyclable but are often not economically viable to recycle at scale.

(Reference: CIPS L5M10 Study Guide, Materials and recyclability, p. 196)


Question 6

Which of the following is a commonly used indicator for measuring capacity and manufacturing productivity and is usually expressed as the percentage of time a machine is truly productive?



Answer : B

Comprehensive and Detailed Explanation From Exact Extract:

Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE) combines availability, performance, and quality to indicate how much of scheduled time a resource is genuinely productive. Downtime is a component that reduces OEE; ''actual output'' is an absolute measure, not an effectiveness percentage. (Reference: CIPS L5M10 Study Guide, OEE definition, p. 109)


Question 7

Which of the following is a type of 2D barcode that can hold large amounts of data and is commonly used by airlines for boarding passes?



Answer : B

Comprehensive and Detailed Explanation From Exact Extract:

PDF417 is a 2D stacked barcode capable of storing large data sets, widely used in aviation (boarding passes) and logistics labels.
