Heavier, frequently moved items will always be stored on the upper floor of a multi-story warehouse

Order tracking technology will be more effective and efficient in a multi-story warehouse

There are more options for the storage of inventory by volume, weight, and frequency of movement in a multi-story warehouse

A1 and 3 only

B1 and 2 only

C2 and 3 only

D3 and 4 only

Suggested Answer: D

Multi-story warehouses provide:

Flexible storage options for various inventory types, based on volume, weight, and movement frequency.

Cost savings on land: As vertical space is utilized, less land is needed for the same storage volume, potentially reducing property expenses.

Whole-life asset management considers these factors to maximize storage efficiency while managing real estate costs.
