Checkpoint assessment

Bangla is being improved for factory-floor accuracy and native wording. It will return once the review is complete. English is available now.

This baseline checkpoint measures how you currently reason about everyday garment business decisions: order feasibility, costing, PP approval discipline and shipment risk.

Answer from the way your factory actually behaves today, not from the ideal answer. The score is a starting reference, not a grade.

1. A buyer confirms an order before the PP sample is approved. What is the correct first action?
Choose one answer
Start bulk cutting immediately to protect the delivery dateHold bulk cutting and escalate the missing PP approval on the critical pathCut 20 percent of the order as a hedgeWait silently until the buyer sends the approval
2. Your line runs 620 pieces against a target of 800 with DHU at 14. Which reading is sound?
Choose one answer
Output is a manpower problem onlyHigh DHU is consuming capacity through rework, so quality and output must be solved togetherThe target was set too high and should be loweredDHU has no relationship with hourly output
3. A trim supplier confirms a 9-day delay two weeks before shipment. What must happen first?
Choose one answer
Inform the buyer only after the new trim date passesQuantify the shipment impact, prepare options (alternate source, split shipment, airfreight) and inform the buyer immediatelyReplace the trim with an unapproved equivalentContinue sewing and decide later
