ETo maintain the highest level of buffer stock

Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: A

Obsolescent stock is stock, usually finished goods, which is in good condition and satisfactory working but for which demand is irreversibly falling towards zero. Once this demand reaches zero the stock can be considered 'obsolete'. It cannot be used or sold in its current state. Food ingredients (like candy canes) which are out of date are another example.

D is the one that really gets me. Generating check digits? That's like asking a chef to do the accounting. A and C are the way to go!

D? Really? Generating check digits for a product code has nothing to do with warehouse operations. I'd go with A and E as the correct answers.
