Preview Questions Scheduler | Role Specific Skill

Question 1: What is the ideal strategy to manage the impact of supply chain disruptions on a production schedule?

Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

Wait for the supply chain to resolve itself and continue

Increase inventory and work overtime to make up for disruptions

Adjust production priorities to focus on available raw materials

Change the production schedule based on customer needs

Question 2: How do you manage scheduling when dealing with equipment downtime during peak production times?

Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

Delay production until the equipment is repaired

Continue production with the available equipment, ignoring the downtime

Use any available equipment and ignore scheduled downtime

Plan for regular maintenance during off-peak times, and adjust production schedules to minimize downtime

Question 3: How does "resource availability" affect production scheduling?

Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

It ensures that necessary resources (materials, labor, etc.) are available when needed to prevent delays

It reduces the need for resource tracking by assuming that all resources will always be available on demand

It tracks only the completion of tasks, ignoring the availability of resources needed to complete those tasks

It speeds up production by ignoring resource availability and focusing on task deadlines

Question 4: How does "resource allocation" impact time management in production scheduling?

Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

It tracks only resource utilization, ignoring task dependencies or timing requirements

It eliminates the need for resource planning by focusing solely on task deadlines and ignoring resource availability

It reduces the need for time management by assuming resources will always be available

It ensures that the right resources are available at the right time, preventing delays and optimizing task completion

Question 5: In a high-volume, low-margin manufacturing environment, what is the best approach to coordinating supply chain activities?

Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

Building long-term relationships with a single, reliable supplier

Reducing production cycle time while optimizing material flow

Implementing a vendor-managed inventory system

Relying on frequent order cycles with large batch productions

Question 6: How can you manage scheduling in a production environment where the engineering department is regularly updating product designs?

Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

Schedule production based on previous designs to avoid disruption

Ask for additional shifts to accommodate design changes

Incorporate design updates into the scheduling process with minimal disruption

Delay production until final designs are confirmed
