The module 1 exam covers only the basics. The exam attempts to test your basic understanding towards supply chain and the various PIM (production and inventory management) concepts. Many people consider module 1 as the easiest module among the five. In module 2, 3 and 4 you will frequently see topics from module 1 (as these modules tend to overlap heavily). It is therefore highly recommended that you reread the module 1 material when you are working on the other modules. For your convenience you may download and view each individual TOC through the links below: Each module (except for the SMR module) comes with practice review questions, totaling 300+ questions altogether!

This is a 100-page+ final review guide for the SMR exam candidates.
The SMR exam has a lot of scenario based questions which test your
understanding on everything you have learned in the past 4 modules.
It also produces a lot of business management kind of questions
which are outside of the production management domain. This is
reasonable - think about it, for management of enterprise resources
to be effective one must have rock solid comprehension of the
various fundamentals. These fundamentals are often out of the scope
of factory management and that's why SMR turns out to be a killer
exam for many factory managers.
Simply put, there is no straight forward equations to get the correct answers in the SMR exam. Your best bet would be to get yourself truly familiar with the relevant business concepts, through work experience and through intensive learning. Our review guide was written exactly for this purpose. It goes through all the relevant topics to get you adequately prepared for the challenge.
