CORRECT Answers
Russia-Ukraine Energy Impact A direct cause of increased global manufacturing costs due to decreased
energy supply and higher fuel prices.
National Protectionism (India) The act of limiting domestic exports (like wheat) during a global crisis to ensure
national food security.
Post-Pandemic Surge A massive spike in logistics volume caused by the release of "pent-up demand"
once COVID-19 restrictions were lifted.
Redundancy (Toyota Pillar) A resilience pillar involving the maintenance of backup suppliers to mitigate the
risk of a primary source failure.
Adaptability (Toyota Pillar) A resilience pillar focused on modular product design and flexible processes
that can adjust to resource scarcity.
Preparation (Toyota Pillar) A resilience pillar involving strategic investments and contingency planning
made before a crisis occurs.
Recovery (Toyota Pillar) A resilience pillar focused on the execution of protocols to return operations
to normal after a disruption.
Humanitarian Logistics A unique supply chain focused purely on meeting demand and saving lives
rather than financial profit.
Commercial Logistics Goal To maximize profit, minimize costs, and meet customer demand efficiently.
Airlifting The primary mode of transport in humanitarian aid when ground infrastructure
like roads and ports is destroyed.
Long-Lead Items Components with an exceptionally long time between ordering and receipt; if
miscalculated, they can idle factories for weeks.
Road Transportation The dominant commercial mode of transport due to its flexibility, cost-
effectiveness, and wide accessibility.
Semi-Trailers A preferred shipping method for managers because of its low variability and
high predictability in arrival times.
The Last Mile The final, most expensive, and most complex leg of the delivery process.
