BTo create sufficient space for redundant stock

CTo minimise stock loss and deterioration

DTo generate check digits for a product code

ETo maintain the highest level of buffer stock

Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: A

Obsolescent stock is stock, usually finished goods, which is in good condition and satisfactory working but for which demand is irreversibly falling towards zero. Once this demand reaches zero the stock can be considered 'obsolete'. It cannot be used or sold in its current state. Food ingredients (like candy canes) which are out of date are another example.

Wait, generating check digits? That doesn't seem like a main goal.

I feel like E could be relevant too, but I can't recall if maintaining buffer stock is a primary objective or just a strategy.

Creating space for redundant stock? I'm not sure that's a primary objective of warehouse operations. I'll have to double-check my notes on this topic before answering.

Okay, I've got this. The main goals are to make sure products are in stock when customers need them, and to keep the inventory in good condition. I'll select those two options and move on.

I'm a little unsure here. I know TCP is important for reliable data transfer, but I can't quite remember which of these protocols doesn't use it. I'll have to eliminate the ones I'm sure do use TCP and go with the remaining option.

This is a good test of our knowledge of the legal responsibilities and liabilities of private security personnel. I'd recommend carefully reading through each answer choice and thinking through the potential consequences. Eliminating the less likely options can help narrow it down.
