Options

• ASlotting
• BAd hoc movements
• CWarehouse reorganization
• DReplenishment
• EDirect putaway

• A
  11% (3)
• B
  85% (23)
• E
  4% (1)

Explanation

B, C, and D are correct because they represent movements that occur entirely within the warehouse, with no connection to inbound or outbound deliveries. Ad hoc movements (B) are unplanned, spontaneous stock relocations between bins. Warehouse reorganization (C) involves systematically rearranging inventory across storage locations to optimize space or efficiency. Replenishment (D) moves stock from a reserve/bulk area to a picking area - all within the same facility.

Why A and E are wrong: Slotting (A) is a planning process that determines optimal storage bin assignments for products - it's a configuration activity, not a physical goods movement. Direct putaway (E) is part of the inbound process, where externally received goods bypass a staging area and go straight to a storage bin - it's triggered by an external delivery, not an internal operation.

Memory tip: Ask yourself, "Does this movement exist entirely inside the four walls of the warehouse, independent of any incoming or outgoing shipment?" If yes, it's internal. Slotting fails because it's planning, not moving; direct putaway fails because it starts at the goods receipt dock.
