2. Which of the following characterizes the triple bottom line? Time, Place, and Form Accounting, Finance, and Economics Planning, Products, and Profit Economic, Environmental, and Social

3. Freight transportation via the mode of motor carrier is very important from a sustainability standpoint because: It considers ecological footprint, not just the carbon footprint. If you bought it, a truck probably brought it. It is the mode with the highest GHG per ton-mile. It has the fastest transit time, which means total GHG emissions are lower.

4. What are the greatest sources of GHG emissions per ton-mile by transport mode, from low to high? Ship, rail, motor, air Ship, motor, rail, air Ship, rail, air, motor Rail, ship, motor, air

5. Which of the following is true regarding slow steaming? It eliminates the use of bunker fuel. It burns 50% more fuel than faster ocean steaming. It may require companies to carry more inventory because it takes shipments longer to arrive. It involves passing slowly through the Panama Canal.

6. __________ is the cheapest transportation mode per ton-mile, but also the __________. Rail; most damaging to goods Ship; least damaging in terms of emissions Motor; most common Pipeline; slowest

7. The three priorities for Hewlett-Packard's design for environment initiatives include: Reduce, reuse, recycle Packaging, transport, and suppliers Energy efficiency, materials innovation, and recyclability People, plant, profit

8. Which of the following is a more comprehensive approach to thinking about and managing a product's environmental footprint? Reduce, reuse, recycle Cradle to cradle People, plant, profit Cradle to grave

9. Scope 1 emissions are defined as: Direct GHG emissions from sources that are owned or controlled by the entity. Emissions from transporting products and people. Emissions by a company's first-tier (scope 1) suppliers. Emissions from developed countries.

10. The Sustainability Consortium: Measures environmental impact primarily for Scope 1 emissions. Is part of SmartWay. Has environmental toolkits that can provide environmental profiles for many product categories. Focuses on transportation reduction.

11. Products that seek loyal local or regional followings are likely to employ which distribution strategy? Channel-centric distribution Selective distribution Niche distribution Exclusive distribution

12. How does logistics support a leagile supply chain strategy? Transportation decisions are based solely on economies of scale. Inventory is stored in large quantities throughout the supply chain. Emphasis is placed on cost over customer service. Distribution centers can perform light assembly operations.

13. Which supply chain strategy would be best when demand is very stable, sales history provides a good indication of future sales, and products vary little? Leagile supply chain Planning-based supply chain Agile supply chain Lean supply chain

14. When comparing lean and agile supply chain strategies, which is the following is correct? Lean supply chains are the leanest strategy. Lean supply chains aim to be even faster than agile supply chains. Agile supply chains aim to be even leaner than lean supply chains. Make-to-stock is leaner than make-to-order.

15 Which of the following is a reason that it is better to hold raw materials than finished goods? Raw material can more easily be returned to suppliers. Raw material is more valuable, increasing the company's assets. Raw materials can be combined to make a variety of items to meet demand. It is NOT better to hold raw material than finished goods.

16. Customer inquiry resolution time is a __________ because _________. Part of the perfect order; it is a key to the customer experience Company supply chain metric; it focuses on the company's piece of the supply chain Balanced supply chain metric; the whole supply chain affects it Balanced supply chain metric; the customer is the only one that adds money to the supply chain

17. All else equal, which of the following logistics actions will help boost the bottom line? Investing in outbound transportation Adding a distribution center Upgrading service level for all customers Reducing inventory damage

18. If you have a major reduction in inventory and stop renting space in an outsourced distribution center, which of the following would you expect? Your income statement will be affected. Your balance sheet will be affected. Both your income statement and balance sheet will be affected. Neither your income statement nor balance sheet will be affected.

19. Which of the following is true of the strategic profit model? It is designed specifically for logistics and supply chain performance. It focuses on operating metrics (versus strategic metrics). It is very similar to the profit leverage effect. It helps us know which logistics lever to pull to achieve desired results.

20. If assets go down and revenues go up, all else equal: ROA will not be affected. ROA will go down. ROA will go up. We don't have enough information to determine the outcome.

21. Which of the following statements is true about transportation modes?

All modes are similar in their pollution per ton-mile. There is not a strong relationship between which transportation modes are the most expensive and which are the most polluting. There is no relationship between the modes that are fastest and those that are the most polluting. There is a direct relationship (correlation) between the cost of the transportation mode and the amount of GHG it emits.

22. The key to improving the emissions impact of ocean shipping is to: Ship by air Reduce the sulfur content of fuel Reduce ocean idling Stop shipping empty containers

23. Design is important to sustainability because:

If we don't design sustainable products to be pretty, people won't buy them. The design process can use a great deal of natural resources and generate much waste through prototyping. Decisions we make in the design phase affect the sustainability at all future phases of the product lifecycle. The design phase has no impact on logistics sustainability issues.

24. Sustainability-oriented companies: Always produce locally. Avoid intermodal transportation. Continuously analyze how their logistics and supply chain decisions affect not only cost and revenue but also the environment. Do not ship anything by air.

25. When it comes to e-commerce's impact on the environment, which of the following is true? Delivering to the end customer's home makes it a GHG disaster. Returns/reverse logistics makes e-commerce very unattractive. Early studies indicate that e-commerce actually results in a net carbon reduction. It is categorically worse than visiting a brick-and-mortar store.
