APICS Certified in Logistics, Transportation and Distribution (CLTD) — Question 109

Which of the following lean tools would a warehouse team use to document, analyze, and improve the flow of information and materials to customers?

Answer options

• A. Lean six sigma
• B. Kaizen
• C. Value stream mapping
• D. Five S methodology

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C, Value stream mapping, as it specifically focuses on visualizing and analyzing the flow of information and materials in a process. The other options, while relevant to lean practices, do not directly target the documentation and improvement of flow in the same manner as value stream mapping does.
