SCPro study plan

Map the end-to-end supply chain process flows (plan, source, make, deliver, return) and label the decision owner and time horizon at each stage

Translate three contrasting business strategies (cost leadership, responsiveness, differentiation) into supply chain design choices, order winners, and order qualifiers

Calculate and interpret forecast accuracy metrics - MAD, MAPE, and bias - on a 12-period demand series and state the corrective action for each pattern

Outline the monthly integrated planning cycle: inputs, outputs, meeting cadence, and the owner of each decision

Build a 12-month aggregate plan matching demand to capacity under level, chase, and hybrid strategies, and quantify the cost of each

Compute safety stock and reorder points at 90/95/99% service levels and explain the marginal cost of each service step-up

Classify a 30-line spend extract by category and by ABC criticality, then identify the three categories with the largest consolidation opportunity

List six sourcing levers (specification change, volume consolidation, payment terms, freight, quality, lead-time) and estimate direction of total-cost impact for each

Construct a weighted RFx evaluation model with at least five criteria, normalize the scores, and justify the weighting logic

Calculate total cost of ownership for two supplier options including price, freight, quality cost, inventory carrying cost, and switching cost

Design a supplier scorecard with six KPIs, their formulas, data sources, and review cadence

Prepare a negotiation brief stating BATNA, target, walk-away point, and three tradeable variables for a single-source renewal

Build a supplier risk register covering financial, capacity, geographic, quality, and compliance exposure, with a mitigation action per risk

Explain how contract terms on liability, warranties, price adjustment, and service levels shift risk between buyer and supplier

Compute EOQ, reorder point, and safety stock for five SKUs with different demand variability and lead times

Distinguish the inputs, outputs, and time fences of the master production schedule, MRP, and DRP

Perform a three-level BOM explosion across four time periods, showing gross requirements, scheduled receipts, projected on-hand, and planned order releases

Set inventory targets at three service levels and show the tradeoff in carrying cost versus expected stockout cost

Apply lean, JIT, and theory-of-constraints logic to identify and relieve a described bottleneck in a production line

Design a cycle-count plan with ABC-based frequency, tolerance thresholds, and root-cause escalation steps

Compare push, pull, and hybrid scheduling models and select the appropriate model for three production environments with stated demand characteristics

Estimate warehouse capacity, dock requirements, and labor hours for a given throughput and unit profile

Evaluate rail, truckload, less-than-truckload, parcel, air, and ocean on cost per unit, transit time, variability, and emissions, and select a mode for four shipment profiles

Map the order-to-delivery cycle from order receipt to cash, and locate the two largest time sinks

Apply Incoterms rules to allocate cost, risk transfer point, and insurance responsibility across at least five named terms

Calculate landed cost per unit for an imported item including freight, duty, insurance, brokerage, and currency effect

Define a fulfillment KPI set - perfect order rate, OTIF, fill rate, order cycle time, cost to serve - with formulas and target ranges

Compare insourcing versus a third-party logistics provider using cost-to-serve and service-risk criteria, and outline a reverse logistics flow for returns

Solve three cross-domain scenarios that each require a sourcing decision, an inventory policy, and a distribution choice to be justified together

Re-drill every missed item from weeks 1 through 7 and state the underlying concept behind each error

Assemble a formula reference sheet covering forecasting error, EOQ, safety stock, reorder point, inventory turns, landed cost, and cost to serve

Complete two full-length timed practice sets under exam conditions and analyze pacing by domain
