• Question 382:

  Which of the following tools shows process changes and random variation over time?

  A. Check sheet
  B. Control chart
  C. Histogram
  D. Pareto analysis
  B. Control chart

  ---

  Explanation

  A control chart is a tool that shows process changes and random variation over time. It is a type of statistical process control (SPC) that monitors the performance of a process and detects whether it is in or out of control. A control chart consists of a center line, an upper control limit, and a lower control limit. The center line represents the average or target value of the process. The control limits represent the acceptable range of variation withinthe process. If the data points fall within the control limits, the process is considered stable and in control. If the data points fall outside the control limits, or show a non-random pattern, the process is considered unstable and out of control, indicating the presence of special causes of variation that need to be investigated and eliminated.

• Question 383:

  What is a malicious activity that overwhelms a Wireless Access Point (WAP)?

  A. Identification spoofing
  B. Signal jamming
  C. Pin attack
  D. War driving
  B. Signal jamming

  Explanation

• Question 384:

  Which of the following factors is used to determine safety stock?

  A. Number of customers
  B. Available capacity
  C. Forecast error distribution
  D. Time between customer orders
  C. Forecast error distribution

  ---

  Explanation

  Safety stock is primarily determined by the forecast error distribution, which measures the variability and uncertainty in demand forecasts. The more unpredictable the demand (i.e., the higher the forecast error), the more safety stock is needed to buffer against stockouts.

• Question 385:

  A Managed Service Provider (MSP) provides hardware and software support for system maintenance and upgrades to a client organization. Who is MOST responsible for auditing security controls related to the hardware and software?

  A. Chief Information Security Officer (CISO) of the MSP
  B. Information Technology (IT) director of the client
  C. Chief Information Security Officer (CISO) of the client organization
  D. Information Technology (IT) director of the MSP
  C. Chief Information Security Officer (CISO) of the client organization

• Question 386:

  A firm that currently produces all items to stock is implementing the concept of postponement in all new product designs. Which of the following outcomes is most likely to result?

  A. Product variety will decrease.
  B. Sales volume per product family will increase.
  C. Number of finished items stocked will decrease.
  D. Number of component items stocked will increase.
  C. Number of finished items stocked will decrease.

  ---

  Explanation

  Postponement delays final product assembly or customization until customer demand is known. This allows the firm to stock generic components or semi-finished items instead of all possible finished goods. As a result, the number of finished items stocked decreases, improving flexibility and reducing inventory carrying costs.

• Question 387:

  The product structure file:

  A. Contains a list of single-level components and quantities needed to assemble
  B. Forms a basis fro a parent pick list.
  C. Both of these
  D. None of these
  C. Both of these

  ---

  Explanation

  The Product Structure File (also known as the Bill of Materials - BOM) includes:

  A: A list of single-level components and their quantities needed to assemble a parent item

  B: It also forms the basis for a parent pick list, which specifies what components to retrieve for assembly

• Question 388:

  The bill of material shows

  A. The components that go into making the parent
  B. The steps or process used to make the parent or the components
  C. Both A and B
  D. None of the above
  A. The components that go into making the parent

  ---

  Explanation

  The Bill of Material (BOM) is a structured list that shows:

  All components, parts, and materials required to manufacture a parent item (finished product)

  The quantities of each component

  The hierarchical relationship (e.g., assemblies and subassemblies)

  Why not the others:

  B: Describes a routing, which outlines the steps/processes used in production-not the BOM.

  C: Incorrect because BOM does not include process steps.

  D: Incorrect as A is accurate.

  Correct answer: A: The components that go into making the parent.

• Question 389:

  An organization is restructuring its network architecture in which system administrators from the corporate office need to be able to connect to the branch office to perform various system maintenance activities. What network architecture would be MOST secure?

  A. Jump-server on a Local Area Network (LAN)
  B. Bastion host over a Wide Area Network (WAN)
  C. Jump-server connected to a Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN)
  D. Bastion host with Virtual Private Network (VPN) termination point
  D. Bastion host with Virtual Private Network (VPN) termination point

• Question 390:

  The material planner works with the type of orders

  A. Four
  B. Three
  C. Seven
  D. Two
  B. Three

  ---

  Explanation

  A material planner typically works with three types of orders in the context of Material Requirements Planning (MRP):

  Planned Orders - Suggested orders created by the MRP system for future release.

  Released Orders (Open Orders) - Orders that have been issued and are in process.

  Firmed Orders - Orders that are confirmed and will not be automatically changed by the system.

  Final Answer: B: Three.
