A value adjustment of inventories has an impact on the balance sheet.

In financial analyses a distinction must be made between gross and net inventories.

A value adjustment of inventories has an impact on the income statement.

Through value adjustments, net inventories become gross inventories.

Assign the statement regarding relative KPIs to the corresponding KPI type. (Index / Classification ratio / Relative ratio)

Price index for raw materials

Absolute market share in %

Turnover per employee and period

Evaluation of the development over time

Normalization of base numbers

Part of the whole

Price index for raw materials → Index

Absolute market share in % → Classification ratio

Turnover per employee and period → Relative ratio

Evaluation of the development over time → Index

Normalization of base numbers → Relative ratio

Part of the whole → Classification ratio

Which statements regarding the “Bullwhip Effect” are true, and which are false?

The bullwhip effect describes the rise and fall of inventories along the value chain, triggered by the demand behavior of customers

The bullwhip effect describes the rise and fall of inventories along the value chain, triggered by the behavior of suppliers.

The bullwhip effect describes the phenomenon of compensating for demand uncertainty by increasing stock levels.

One key to solving the bullwhip effect is the communication of sales data and customer behavior across the entire value chain.

Which statements regarding Controlling the Supply Chain are true, and which are false?

Controlling focuses on inventories, as these primarily affect the income statement.

Controlling includes the effects of inventories, freight costs and material prices on the balance sheet and income statement.

Which statements regarding KPIs are true, and which are false?

KPIs generally have the function of providing fast and meaningful information about business management issues.

Key figures provide a representation of quantitatively ascertainable facts in concentrated form.

A benchmark describes the “where”: Benchmark as an indication of location.

Which statements regarding Performance and Cost Indicators are true, and which are false?

“Set-up time” is a typical cost KPI.

“Scrap rate” is a typical performance indicator.

“Throughput time” is a typical performance indicator.

“Recall costs” is a typical cost KPI.

Which statements regarding the Typology of KPIs according to Werner (2017) are true, and which are false?

The typology of KPIs classifies KPIs according to the value added: “Input”, “Throughput”, “Output”, and “Payment”.

All KPIs in the typology of KPIs are relevant for all industries.

The typology of KPIs classifies KPIs in the time dimension: “Past”, “Present”, and “Future”.

The typology of KPIs only differentiates between “Input” and “Output”.

Assign the KPIs (indicators) to the corresponding supply chain level. (Internal KPI / Network KPI)

Inventory

Cost per Order

Customer contacts SC

Cash-to-Cash-Cycle

Total delivery time SC

Time-to-Market SC

Inventory → Internal KPI
