Sidel Corp is a major food processor. It invested heavily on manufacturing facilities and processing machineries. Sidel's expenses on maintenance are exceptionally high. To minimise the total cost of maintenance, what should Sidel Corp do?
Maintenance can represent a significant portion of the cost in asset intensive organisations (such as Sidel - a food processor), as breakdowns have an impact on the capacity, quality and cost of operation. However, the formulation of a maintenance strategy depends on a number of factors, including the cost of down time, reliability characteristics and redundancy of assets. Consequently, the balance between preventive maintenance (PM) and corrective maintenance (CM) for minimising costs varies between organisations and assets. Nevertheless, there are some rules of thumb on the balance between PM and CM, such as the 80/20 rule.
Preventive maintenance is a type of proactive maintenance, while corrective maintenance is an example of reactive maintenance. Therefore, the answer should be 'Balance between proactive maintenance and reactive maintenance'.

Practice of unloading goods from inbound delivery vehicles and loading them directly onto out-bound vehicles is known as ...?
Cross-docking is the practice of unloading goods from inbound delivery vehicles and loading them directly onto outbound vehicles. By eliminating or minimizing warehouse storage costs, space requirements and inventory handling, cross-docking can streamline supply chains and help them move goods to market faster and more efficiently.
Cross-docking usually takes place in a dedicated docking terminal in a warehouse, where inbound goods are first received at a dock and sorted according to their final destinations. They are then moved to the other side of the dock via forklift, conveyor belt or other equipment and loaded on outbound vehicles.
Cross-docking works best with products that need to be transported quickly, such as food, that have already been sorted and labeled for customers, do not need quality inspections or have steady demand.

Which of the following are features of product codes?
1. Product codes link to products' characteristics
2. A product code must comply with international standards
3. Many internal processes use the product codes as facilitators
4. There are no duplicate product codes
The product code is often the key to obtaining documentation relating to products.
Product codes are often use to link to internal processes. Some computerised inventory systems trigger alerts when specific items or volume are ordered - this could be an out-of-stock warning or potential volume errors.
In many cases, an organisation will use its own product code system. The organisation constructs a code that is effective and fits with its software and the variety of items covered. So these codes may or may not comply with any international standards (such as GS1 specifications, ISO standards, etc.). As organisations make up the code themselves, the codes may look identical to others. For example, SKU414675 reveals that it is used for many items, including the following:
- A UK wholesaler's six-pack of branded cola
- An Australian snack food
- UK flower seeds
- An Italian desk sold in Japan
- A Brazilian light fitting

Which one of the following statements is true about radio frequency identification (RFID)?
Radio frequency identification (RFID) are items which use radio technology to identify itself and its location subject to having appropriate hardware and software.
RFID tags are made of three different components: an RFID chip, which is an integrated circuit (IC), an antenna, and a substrate.
A RFID Reader is a device that uses radio-frequency waves to wirelessly transfer data between itself and a RFID tag/label in order to identify, categorize and track assets. When combined with the right RFID software, a RFID reader can identify objects quicker, more accurately, at a reduced overall cost, and at various points of the object's lifecycle.
Passive RFID systems use tags with no internal power source and instead are powered by the electromagnetic energy transmitted from an RFID reader. Passive RFID tags are used for applica-tions such as access control, file tracking, race timing, supply chain management, smart labels, and more.
Active RFID systems have three essential parts -- a reader or interrogator, antenna, and a tag. Ac-tive RFID tags possess their own power source -- an internal battery that enables them to have ex-tremely long read ranges as well as large memory banks.
