Question 1: How does SKU rationalization improve supply chain performance in FMCG?

Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

By reducing the number of SKUs to streamline inventory management, simplify procurement, and reduce costs.

By eliminating the need for forecasting and stocking based on current sales trends.

By increasing the number of SKUs to expand product variety and capture more market share.

By ignoring SKU management and focusing only on logistics efficiency.

Question 2: How do you ensure "warehouse efficiency" while coordinating logistics in FMCG?

Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

By using a one-size-fits-all approach to warehouse operations

By ignoring warehouse layout and focusing only on transportation

By reducing warehouse space to minimize overhead costs, regardless of inventory needs

By optimizing storage layout, implementing lean principles, and aligning receiving and shipping schedules with transportation

Question 3: How would you optimize the "transportation network" to reduce costs in FMCG distribution?

Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

By focusing on only one transportation method without evaluating alternatives

By analyzing shipping routes, selecting optimal carriers, and consolidating shipments to minimize transportation costs

By choosing the cheapest available carrier for all shipments regardless of efficiency

By increasing shipping frequencies to avoid delays

Question 4: How do you apply "demand-driven supply chain" concepts to optimize FMCG operations?

Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

By aligning production, inventory, and distribution with actual consumer demand and minimizing waste

By producing goods based on forecasted demand without adjusting for real-time sales

By reducing flexibility in the supply chain and focusing on fixed production schedules

By increasing production and inventory levels across all product lines to prevent shortages

Question 5: How does a Distribution Manager manage reverse logistics in FMCG?

Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

By reducing return management to focus on final deliveries.

By ignoring returns and focusing only on outbound shipments.

By eliminating returns to minimize operational complexity.

By establishing processes for returning unsold, damaged, or expired goods and managing returns efficiently.

Question 6: How does the concept of "just-in-time" (JIT) inventory impact the FMCG distribution network?

Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

JIT increases the need for storage and transportation, which can complicate the network.

JIT eliminates the need for demand forecasting in the distribution network.

JIT reduces inventory levels by ensuring products are delivered exactly when needed, minimizing storage costs and improving flow.

JIT applies only to high-value, low-volume products, not FMCG.
