APICS Certified Supply Chain Professional (CSCP) — Question 446

Which of the following processes is a feature of supply chain event management (SCEM) software?

Answer options

• A. Posting transactions within a supply chain
• B. Minimizing the total inventory level in a supply chain
• C. Scheduling events to enable vendors and customers to conduct business efficiently
• D. Triggering business rules when exceptional events occur in a supply chain

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is D because SCEM software is designed to monitor and respond to exceptional events in the supply chain, activating predefined business rules to manage these situations. Options A and B describe general supply chain activities but do not specifically relate to the event management aspect. Option C, while relevant to operations, does not capture the essence of managing exceptions in supply chain events.
