Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: D

A 'U' flow occurs when the goods receipt and dispatch functions are located at the same end of a warehouse building.

Products flow in at receiving, move in to storage in the back of the warehouse, and then to shipping, which is located at the adjacent to receiving on the same side of the building.

Items with higher throughput level are located closer to the loading bays. An example of a 'U' flow design can be seen in the diagram below.

Advantages of 'U' Flow

- Excellent utilization of dock resources because the receiving and shipping processes can share dock doors

- Facilitating cross-docking because the receiving and shipping docks are adjacent to one another and may be co-mingled

- Excellent lift truck utilization because put away and retrieval trips are easily combined and be-cause the storage locations closest to the receiving and shipping docks are natural locations to house fast moving items

- Yields excellent security because there is a single side of the building used for entry and exit

I’m a bit confused. I thought obsolescence was more about technology changes, so A seems right, but I’m not sure about the second option.

I remember practicing a question like this, and I think C could be relevant since decreased usage might lead to obsolescence.

I think obsolescence is about items becoming outdated, so maybe A and E? But I'm not entirely sure.

Obsolescence is about the technology or supplier becoming outdated, not just decreased demand. I think I've got this.

Ah, I remember learning about this in class. I'm pretty confident the answer is False, since you do set entity paths for root scopes.

This is a tricky one! I'm leaning towards A and E, but I'm not 100% sure. Guess I'll have to double-check my notes on inventory management.

I believe C and D could also be considered as definitions of obsolescence. When the usage of items decreases or the forecasts exceed demand, they can become obsolete.
