What parameters can you set with slotting as well as with the ABC analysis? Note: There are 2 correct answers to this question.

Question

Options

• APutaway control indicator
• BCycle counting indicator
• CStorage section indicator
• DReplenishment quantities

• A
  76% (42)
• B
  16% (9)
• D
  7% (4)

Explanation

Both Putaway Control Indicator (A) and Storage Section Indicator (C) are parameters that can be set through either slotting or ABC analysis, making them the correct answers. Slotting optimizes where products are physically placed in the warehouse, and ABC analysis classifies items by movement frequency - both processes influence how and where goods are stored, which is exactly what the putaway control and storage section indicators govern.

Cycle Counting Indicator (B) is incorrect because while ABC analysis does influence how frequently items are counted (A-items counted most often), cycle counting frequency is not a parameter managed by slotting - slotting is about location optimization, not inventory audit scheduling.

Replenishment Quantities (D) is incorrect because replenishment quantities are driven by demand planning and minimum/maximum stock rules, not by the location-assignment logic that both slotting and ABC analysis control.

Memory tip: Think of slotting and ABC analysis as two tools that both answer the question "Where should this product live in the warehouse and how should it get there?" - Putaway Control (how it arrives) and Storage Section (where it ends up) both answer that question, while cycle counting (audit scheduling) and replenishment quantities (how much to order) are governed by separate processes.
