  1. What does the term 'slotting optimization' refer to in a WMS context?

    Answer: Assigning products to the most efficient storage locations based on velocity and characteristics

    Slotting optimization analyzes pick frequency, weight, and size to place products in locations that minimize travel time and ergonomic strain.

  2. A 'directed putaway' feature in a WMS means the system:

    Answer: Instructs workers where to store received inventory based on predefined rules

    Directed putaway uses WMS rules (zone, velocity, weight, lot) to tell workers the exact location where each item should be stored.

  3. Which metric does a Labor Management System (LMS) primarily use to evaluate worker performance?

    Answer: Engineered labor standards (ELS)

    LMS platforms compare actual task times against engineered labor standards to measure individual and team productivity.

  4. In RFID technology, a 'passive' tag differs from an 'active' tag because it:

    Answer: Has no internal battery and is powered by the reader's signal

    Passive RFID tags draw power from the electromagnetic field emitted by the reader, eliminating the need for an internal battery.

  5. What is a 'golden zone' in warehouse slotting?

    Answer: The storage area at optimal picking height (waist to shoulder) minimizing ergonomic strain

    The golden zone refers to the ergonomically ideal shelf height range where associates can pick without bending or reaching, improving speed and reducing injury.

  6. Which integration method allows two different software systems to exchange data in real time using lightweight, stateless protocols over the internet?

    Answer: RESTful API

    RESTful APIs use HTTP protocols to enable real-time, on-demand data exchange between systems without the latency of batch processing.

  7. A 'wave' in warehouse picking operations refers to:

    Answer: A batch of orders released together for picking at a scheduled time

    Wave picking releases a coordinated group of orders simultaneously, allowing the WMS to optimize pick paths and labor allocation across the batch.
