  1. A pharmaceutical company must track each unit of medication from manufacture to patient. This requirement is addressed by:

    Answer: Unit-level serialization

    Unit-level serialization assigns a unique identifier to each individual item, enabling complete track-and-trace from production to end consumer.

  2. Which of the following BEST describes 'closed-loop supply chain management'?

    Answer: Integrating forward and reverse logistics into a unified system

    Closed-loop supply chain management integrates forward distribution and reverse logistics to capture value from returned products and reduce waste.

  3. A logistics manager wants to reduce 'empty miles' in the truck fleet. Which strategy DIRECTLY addresses this issue?

    Answer: Backhaul coordination and load matching

    Backhaul coordination matches return trip capacity with freight needing transport in that direction, reducing the percentage of miles driven with empty trailers.

  4. Under the Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) framework, who bears primary financial and operational responsibility for end-of-life product disposal?

    Answer: Producers/manufacturers

    EPR policies hold producers financially and operationally responsible for managing their products at end-of-life, incentivizing design for recyclability.

  5. A warehouse uses a 'goods-to-person' automated storage and retrieval system (AS/RS). The PRIMARY operational benefit is:

    Answer: Increased pick rates and reduced travel time for workers

    Goods-to-person AS/RS brings products to stationary pickers, dramatically increasing pick rates by eliminating the time workers spend traveling through the warehouse.

  6. When calculating landed cost, which of the following is included BEYOND the purchase price?

    Answer: Tariffs, freight, insurance, and customs brokerage fees

    Landed cost includes all costs to get goods to their destination: purchase price plus tariffs, freight, insurance, customs fees, and other import-related charges.

  7. A company's reverse logistics program recovers 60% of returned product value through resale and 30% through parts harvesting. The remaining 10% goes to landfill. To improve sustainability, the BEST next step is:

    Answer: Develop recycling partnerships for the 10% landfill stream

    Developing recycling partnerships for the non-recoverable 10% diverts waste from landfill and can generate revenue from raw material recovery.
