COP Inventory Control & Fulfillment Procedures 2

Question 1

A warehouse uses a two-bin replenishment system. What triggers a replenishment order?

Accepted Answer

When the first bin is emptied and picking begins from the second bin

Answer

In a two-bin system, emptying the first bin triggers a replenishment order while the second bin continues to supply demand.

Question 2

Which inventory valuation method assigns the cost of the most recently purchased items to the cost of goods sold?

Accepted Answer

LIFO

Answer

LIFO (Last-In, First-Out) assumes the most recently acquired inventory is sold first, assigning newer costs to COGS.

Question 3

A 3PL fulfillment center receives a chargeback from a retailer for non-compliance. Which document should be reviewed first to determine the cause?

Accepted Answer

The retailer's vendor compliance guide (routing guide)

Answer

The retailer's vendor compliance/routing guide specifies all packaging, labeling, and shipping requirements whose violation triggers chargebacks.

Question 4

When performing a cycle count, an order processor finds 48 units on hand but the system shows 52. What is the correct next step?

Accepted Answer

Recount the location, then investigate the discrepancy before adjusting

Answer

Best practice requires a recount to confirm the physical quantity and then investigate potential causes (theft, misshipment, recording error) before making a system adjustment.

Question 5

Which picking method is most efficient when a single order contains items stored across many zones of a large warehouse?

Accepted Answer

Zone picking with order consolidation

Answer

Zone picking divides the warehouse into zones where pickers work only their zone; completed picks are consolidated into single orders, minimizing travel while handling multi-zone orders.
