Answer the 10 questions. You need 80% or more to pass. You can retry as many times as you like.

Question 1In the SCOR Digital Standard, what is Orchestrate?A warehouse layout templateThe Level-0 process that integrates and enables strategy and governs the Level-1 processesA mandatory ISO certificationA substitute for a sales forecast

Question 2Why is a collection of site plans not, by itself, an enterprise operations strategy?Because only finance may set operating rulesBecause sites are illegal to plan individuallyBecause Orchestrate is where network design, service rules and performance priorities are meant to be set together, not only inside each siteBecause SCOR forbids any site-level measures

Question 3What does the OECD’s public work on global value and supply chains emphasise?That production is often split across countries and firms, with value added in stagesThat location decisions have no effect on dependenceThat operations leaders should ignore trade and partnersThat every product must be made in a single plant from start to finish

Question 4Why is a relocation decision that compares only rent and direct labour incomplete in a fragmented value chain?Because rent is illegal to considerBecause it ignores the stages before and after, and the dependencies a move would create across the chainBecause only after-sales costs may be comparedBecause the OECD requires a single worldwide factory

Question 5Which six Level-1 processes does the SCOR Digital Standard describe alongside Orchestrate?Audit, Certificate, Logo, Brochure, Award and PartyOnly Make and DeliverHire, Train, Pay, Leave, Retire and ArchivePlan, Order, Source, Transform, Fulfill and Return

Question 6What is a sound first use of those Level-1 process names at enterprise level?Walking a real offer across the processes to find broken hand-offs, including Return as a designed processDeleting all local measures immediatelyUsing the names only in a software sales pitchRelabelling every department on day one, before looking at any hand-off

Question 7What is ISO 44001?A product-safety regulationA standard that only covers office-cleaning contractsA requirements-and-framework standard for collaborative business relationship management systemsA replacement for all contract law

Question 8Why is a contract file, on its own, not enough to manage a collaborative operations partner?Because ISO 44001 forbids written contractsBecause only price negotiations are allowedBecause contracts are never legally validBecause a collaborative relationship also needs a managed cycle of purpose, selection, joint governance of performance and risk, and exit or renewal

Question 9What is ISO 20400?Guidance on sustainable procurement, not a set of certification requirementsA mandatory worldwide tax codeA replacement for ISO 44001A standard that only covers internal audit

Question 10When does a sustainable-procurement pledge become operations policy in practice?Never; operations must ignore procurementAs soon as it is printed in the annual report, even if buying is unchangedWhen it changes specifications, supplier selection, contracts or performance measures in the buying processOnly after every product is made in-house
