The cost of capital in warehousing sounds important too, but I wonder if it has a more indirect impact compared to the other options.

I'm a bit confused about the projected operating cost increases for inventory control. It seems relevant, but I can't recall how it fits into the overall distribution cost reduction strategy.

Okay, I've got this. The key here is to think about all the different costs associated with the distribution network. The cost of implementing a new materials flow system is definitely important, as is the impact on inventory control and warehousing costs.

Wait, is this a trick question? I'm pretty sure the answer is E) The cost of hiring a consultant to tell you the answer. That's the real hidden expense in any distribution cost reduction plan.

B is an interesting choice, but I'm not sure it's the most important factor. Projected operating cost increases for inventory control are important, but I'd prioritize the actual costs of the new materials flow network.
