$1.$ What is the main challenge associated with relying solely on financial measures for assessing logistics performance?

$*$ Financial measures are difficult to calculate

$$ Financial measures focus on current performance

$$ Financial measures provide a narrow view of logistics performance

$$ Financial measures do not reveal what specifically is wrong in logistics

$2.$ In the context of legal forms of transportation, what is a characteristic of contract carriers?

$$ They are not bound to serve the general public

$$ They are exempt from regulation of services and rates

$$ They transport certain exempt products such as produce, livestock, coal, or newspapers

$$ They are subject to the most extensive regulations among carrier classifications

$3.$In which industries and scenarios is intermittent demand commonly observed?

$$ Often in aviation, automotive, defense, and manufacturing

$$ Primarily in the fashion and retail industries

$$ Mainly in the technology and electronics sectors

$*$ Primarily in the food and beverage industry

$4.$ There are five steps to implement the new supply chain agenda:

$(1)$: Placing the right people in the right jobs

$(2)$: Putting the right technology in place

$(3)$: Focusing on internal collaboration

$(4)$: Directing external collaboration

$(5)$: Applying project management

What is the correct order of these $5$ steps?

$5.$ What is the primary purpose of value stream mapping in lean implementation?

$$ Identifying value$-$added activities in the manufacturing process

$$ Analyzing the product design phase for improvements

$*$ Studying both value$-$added and non$-$value$-$added activities in the entire process

$*$ Creating a roadmap for product delivery to the customer

$6.$ Of the following statements about space calculations, how many of them are TRUE arguments?

$(1)$ The only factors need consideration in calculating dock space are the number of loads and pallets, the hours to unload, the space per pallet as well as the time of shift.

$(2)$ The ability to preload trailers and double stack pallets will help reduce the space required without limitations

$(3)$ All products will be evaluated and put on pallets with varying heights depending on the nature of the items in terms of weight, crushability, $...$

$(4)$ The working and travel space around the pallets will be determined by the type of forklift or pallet truck used to unload and load the vehicles, plus the amount of access to the pallets is required

$(5)$ The calculation of quantities of pallets should consider several factors such as planned utilization within the warehouse, the pallet orientation, the requirement for cross aisles and the height of forklift trucks

$(6)$ While the double deep racking requires a smaller number of aisles, the drive$-$in racking increase the need for aisles

$(7)$ The presence and location of sprinklers could influence the height of warehouse and the racking

$7.$ Which type of productivity measure relates the throughput of a supply chain to the number of customer visits per van or tons moved per shift?

Total Productivity

$$ Labour Productivity

$$ Capital Productivity

$$ Equipment Productivity

$8.$ Which statement accurately describes a difference in commitment between shared and dedicated warehouses?

$*$ Shared warehouses typically require multi$-$year contracts for the entire building, providing stability and long$-$term commitment

$$ Dedicated warehouses offer greater flexibility with month$-$to$-$month agreements, allowing businesses to adapt to changing warehouse needs

$$ Both shared and dedicated warehouses usually involve fixed$-$term contracts, limiting flexibility in commitment

$$ Dedicated warehouses often require long$-$term commitments, while shared warehouses provide the advantage of short$-$term, adaptable agreements
