Actual exam question for ISM's Supply Management Integration exam
Question #: 2
Topic #: 3
[All Supply Management Integration Questions]

A graph of a firm's inventory replenishment system reveals the following:

Which of the following is TRUE'

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: D

The graph shows inventory levels being replenished back to the maximum level immediately after reaching zero, indicating near-instantaneous replenishment. This is characteristic of a system where the lead time for orders is very short or negligible, allowing the firm to maintain optimal inventory levels without significant delay. This approach minimizes stockouts and ensures a con-tinuous supply of inventory. Reference:

Hold up, is this a graph or a work of modern art? I can't tell if I'm taking an exam or visiting a museum.

I think Trinidad is correct, the time between orders is shown to be 2.5 days.

500 units? That's a pretty fixed order quantity if you ask me. Seems a bit rigid, if you ask this guy.

The order cycle is clearly two and a half days according to the graph. Looks pretty straightforward to me.
