IAPP CIPM Online Questions & Answers

• Question 231:

  In a make-to-stock (MTS) environment, the master production schedule (MPS) Is usually a schedule of which of the following types of items?

  A. Phantom items
  B. Finished goods items
  C. Component/subassembly items
  D. Raw material items
  B. Finished goods items

  ---

  Explanation

  In a Make-to-Stock (MTS) environment, the Master Production Schedule (MPS) is primarily used to plan the production of finished goods in anticipation of customer demand, rather than waiting for actual orders.

• Question 232:

  Which of the following methods most likely Introduces a temporary variance between the inventory balance and the inventory record?

  A. Inventory write-off
  B. Backflushing
  C. Cycle count
  D. Kanban
  B. Backflushing

  ---

  Explanation

  Backflushing records inventory usage after production is completed, rather than at the time materials are issueD: This delay can cause a temporary variance between the physical inventory and the inventory records.

• Question 233:

• Question 236:

  When designing a production cell, which of the following items would be the most important consideration?

  A. The unit per hour requirement for the production cell to meet the sales forecast
  B. The flow of materials into the cell and sequencing of operations to minimize total cycle time
  C. The output rate for the first operation and move time after the last workstation
  D. The takt time requirement for each operator to meet the monthly production goals of the plant
  B. The flow of materials into the cell and sequencing of operations to minimize total cycle time

  ---

  Explanation

  In production cell design, the most important consideration is ensuring a smooth flow of materials and efficient sequencing of operations. This minimizes total cycle time, reduces waste, and supports lean manufacturing principles - all of which are critical for achieving high productivity and flexibility in a cellular layout.

• Question 237:

  Which of the following statements best characterizes enterprise resources planning (ERP) systems?

  A. They track activity from customer order through payment.
  B. They are expensive but easy to implement.
  C. They provide real-time planning and scheduling, decision support, available-to-promise (ATP), and capable-to-promise (CTP) capabilities.
  D. They are used for strategic reporting requirements.
  C. They provide real-time planning and scheduling, decision support, available-to-promise (ATP), and capable-to-promise (CTP) capabilities.

  ---

  Explanation

  Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) systems are comprehensive platforms that integrate core business processes in real time. They support planning and scheduling, offer decision-making tools, and include ATP and CTP functionalities to manage customer orders and production commitments efficiently.

• Question 238:

  An organization is updating an Application Programming Interface (API) to support requests coming from mobile applications distributed on public application stores. The API's primary function is to supply confidential documents when users request them within the mobile application. Which approach would BEST respond to this use case?

  A. Require that the user supplies their credential to access confidential documents.
  B. Require a Virtual Private Network (VPN) connection to the organization's network to access confidential documents.
  C. Implement Security Assertion Markup Language (SAML) to validate the identity of the user requesting access to confidential documents.
  D. Implement Open Authorization (OAuth) 2.0 to require the users to request permission to access confidential documents.
  D. Implement Open Authorization (OAuth) 2.0 to require the users to request permission to access confidential documents.

• Question 239:

  Who is ultimately responsible for ensuring that specific data is protected?

  A. Custodian
  B. Data owner
  C. Data controller
  D. System owner
  B. Data owner

  ---

  Explanation

• Question 240:

  Master Production schedule:

  A. A statement of which end items are to be produced, the quantity of each, and the dates they are to be completed
  B. Drives the MRP system by providing the initial input for the items needed
  C. Both A and B
  D. None of the above is true
  C. Both A and B

  ---

  Explanation

  The Master Production Schedule (MPS) is:

  A: A statement of which end items (finished products) are to be produced, how many, and when

  B: The primary input to the MRP system, driving the planning of components and materials needed to meet the schedule
