C and E? Really? Who cares about obsolescent stock and product coding when you're building a new facility? This exam question is chilling me to the bone!

I disagree. B and D are the correct answers. Forecasting inventory levels is key for managing a cold chain, and accessibility to roads and highways is a must.

I think B) Ease of objective forecasting on inventory level is important too. We need to be able to accurately predict our inventory needs.

D and A seem like the obvious choices here. You can't have a cold chain facility without easy access to major transportation routes, and the availability of a suitable building is crucial.
