Question 1

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

Accepted Answer

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

Answer

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

Question 2

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

Accepted Answer

Instructs workers where to store received inventory based on predefined rules

Answer

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

Question 3

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

Accepted Answer

Engineered labor standards (ELS)

Answer

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

Question 4

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

Accepted Answer

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

Answer

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

Question 5

What is a 'golden zone' in warehouse slotting?

Accepted Answer

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

Answer

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