APICS CSCP FINAL EXAM 2026 QUESTIONS AND
SOLUTIONS RATED A+
✔✔Globally harmonized system of
classification and labeling of
chemicals (GHS) - ✔✔An International standard, created by the United Nations
Economic Commission for Europe (UNECE), for
classifying chemicals according to their health, physical
and environmental hazards. The system defines and
classifies the hazards of chemical products, and
communicates health and safety information on labels
and material safety data sheets.
✔✔Harmonized system
classification codes - ✔✔An internationally standardized description of goods that
uses a system of numbers to provide increasingly
detailed classification and descriptions.
✔✔Harmonized tariff schedule (HTS) - ✔✔The mechanism by which international tariffs
are
standardized. Importers and Exporters use them to
determine the amount of tariff to pay and must classify all
goods moved across international borders using the
system of the country of import.
✔✔Horizontal marketplace - ✔✔An online marketplace used by buyers and sellers from
multiple industries. This marketplace lowers prices by
lowering transaction costs.
✔✔Incoterms® - ✔✔A set of rules established by the International Chamber of
Commerce that provides internationally recognized rules
for the interpretation of the most commonly used trade
terms in foreign trade and are routinely incorporated in
the contracts for the sale of goods worldwide to provide
guidance to all parties involved in the transaction.
✔✔Independent demand - ✔✔The demand for an item that is unrelated to the demand
for other items. Examples include demand for finished
goods, parts required for destructive testing, and service
parts requirement.
✔✔Interplant demand One plant's - ✔✔One plant's need for a part or product that is
produced by
another plant or division within the same organization.
Although it is not a customer order, it is usually handled
, by the master production scheduling system in a similar
manner.
✔✔Inventory accuracy - ✔✔When the on-hand quantity is within an allowed tolerance of
the recorded balance. This important metric usually is
measured as the percent of items with stock levels that fall
within tolerance. Target values usually are 95 percent to 99
percent, depending on the value of the item. For logistical
operations (location management) purposes, it is
sometimes measured as the number of storage locations
with errors divided by the total number of storage locations.
✔✔Inventory visibility - ✔✔The extent to which inventory information is shared within
a firm and with supply chain partners.
✔✔Joint replenishment system - ✔✔Coordinating the lot sizing and order release
decision for
related items and treating them as a family of items. The
objective is to achieve lower costs because of ordering,
setup, shipping, and quantity discount economies. This
term applies equally to joint ordering (family contracts)
and to composite part (group technology) fabrication
scheduling.
✔✔Joint venture - ✔✔An agreement between two or more firms to risk equity
capital to attempt a specific business objective.
✔✔Kanban - ✔✔A method of Just-in-Time production that uses standard
containers or lot sizes with a single card attached to each. It
is a pull system in which work centers signal with a card that
they wish to withdraw parts from feeding operations or
suppliers. The term, loosely translated, means card,
billboard, or sign but other signaling devices such as
colored golf balls have also been used. The term is often
used synonymously for the specific scheduling system
developed and used by the Toyota Corporation in Japan.
✔✔Landed cost - ✔✔This cost includes the product cost plus the costs of
logistics, such as warehousing, transportation, and
handling fees.
✔✔Level strategy - ✔✔A production planning method that maintains a stable
production rate while varying inventory levels to meet
demand.
