What can you view using the Parts Per Million app?

Question

Options

• AList of alternative available sources of supply for the material or material group
• BGlobal purchasing spend for the purchasing group or organization
• CReturn deliveries and quality notifications created for goods received
• DRelease order history with the number and value of releases per month

• A
  2% (1)
• B
  2% (1)
• C
  95% (40)

Explanation

Option C is correct because the Parts Per Million (PPM) app is a quality management tool used to evaluate supplier quality performance by tracking return deliveries (goods sent back due to defects) and quality notifications (formal records of issues) associated with goods receipts - PPM itself is a quality metric measuring defective units per million delivered.

• A is wrong because alternative supply sources are managed through the Source List or Approved Supplier List apps, not a quality metric tool.
• B is wrong because global purchasing spend is the domain of Spend Analysis apps, which aggregate cost data across purchasing groups or organizations.
• D is wrong because release order history (scheduling agreement releases) belongs in contract/scheduling agreement management apps, tracking call-off quantities over time.

Memory tip: Think of PPM literally - "Parts Per Million" is a quality ratio, so the app must be about quality problems with received goods (returns and notifications). If the answer involves money or sourcing, it's the wrong app.
