[100% OFF] CIPS L5M6 Category Management | 300 Q

Prepare for the CIPS Level 5 L5M6 Category Management exam with 300 original, exam-style practice questions, each mapped to the module's learning outcomes and assessment criteria.

Every question comes with a full explanation: why the correct answer is right, why each distractor is wrong, a practical exam tip and a reference to the relevant section and page of the Study Guide. You do not just check your score; you learn the concept behind every answer.

What is included:

3 Chapter Tests (40 questions each), one for each learning outcome

3 Full Mock Exams (60 questions each), mixing all three learning outcomes in full exam format

Single-select and multi-select questions, including scenario, calculation and data-interpretation items

Topics covered:

Strategic sourcing and category management models, including A.T. Kearney's seven-step process

Transactional versus strategic sourcing, cross-functional teams and the technical and behavioural skills of category managers

Spend analysis, Pareto analysis, expenditure trees and category hierarchies

Portfolio tools: the Kraljic matrix, supply positioning, the BCG Matrix and Porter's Five Forces

Forecasting, demand patterns, market trends and STEEPLED analysis

Contract compliance, leakage, lead-time compliance, rebates and balanced scorecards

Stakeholder mapping, supplier relationships, total cost modelling and total cost of ownership

Industry life cycle, competitive rivalry and pricing models such as break-even, cost-plus, marginal and peak pricing

The questions are written to test application, analysis and judgement, not just recall, so you practise the kind of thinking the exam rewards.
