サンプル問題 1： The primary benefit that results from the cross-training of employees is:
A: improved flexibility.
B: improved capacity.
C: shortened lead time.
D: effective problem-solving.
正解：A
Explanation: Cross-training employees is the process of training employees for skills and job roles they weren’t initially hired for. This allows them to switch between different tasks and roles when needed, which increases the flexibility and adaptability of the workforce. Cross-training also enhances the problem-solving, communication, and collaboration skills of the employees, but the primary benefit is improved flexibility12 Reference: 1: 9 Major Benefits of Cross-Training Employees Effectively 2: Employee cross-training: 8 benefits you can’t afford to miss
サンプル問題 2： A company has a demand for 30 units of A, 40 units of B, and 50 units of C. These products are scheduled to run daily in batches of 10 as follows: ABC, ABC, ABC, CBC. What is this scheduling technique called?
A: Mixed-model
B: Matrix
C: Synchronized
D: Line balancing
正解：A
Explanation: Mixed-model scheduling is a technique that allows multiple products to be produced on the same assembly line without changeovers, and then sequences those products in a way that smoothes the demand for upstream components12. In this case, the company is using mixed-model scheduling to produce three different products (A, B, and C) on the same line, and then alternating them in a pattern that minimizes the variation in the workload and the inventory levels. The other options are not correct because: • Matrix scheduling is a technique that assigns tasks to workers based on their skills and availability3. • Synchronized scheduling is a technique that coordinates the production and delivery of materials and components to match the demand of the final assembly4. • Line balancing is a technique that distributes the workload evenly among the workers or machines on a production line5.

サンプル問題 3： Under which of the following conditions is excess capacity most likely a good substitute for safety stock?
A: The cost of excess capacity is less than the cost of an additional unit of safety stock in the same period.
B: The cost to maintain one unit in inventory for a year is less than the direct labor cost.
C: The service level with safety stock is more than the service level with excess capacity.
D: Lead time for the product is longer than customers are willing to wait.
正解：A
Explanation: Excess capacity is the amount of capacity that is available beyond the normal or expected demand. Safety stock is the inventory that is held to protect against uncertainties in demand, supply, or lead time. Excess capacity can be a good substitute for safety stock when the cost of excess capacity is less than the cost of an additional unit of safety stock in the same period. This means that the opportunity cost of having idle resources is lower than the carrying cost of holding extra inventory. In this case, excess capacity can be used to produce more units in response to demand fluctuations, rather than relying on safety stock to meet customer orders.
