APICS Certified in Logistics, Transportation and Distribution (CLTD) — Question 23

In warehouse operations, picking process occurs when:

Answer options

• A. customer orders for product are ready to be shipped or to replenish a forward case or unit pick area.
• B. immediately after a product is stored in a designated location in order to be shipped to the customer.
• C. a Kanban signal arrives to replenish material in the workshop.
• D. when a customer order needs to be replaced by a new product die to engineering changes.

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is D because the picking process is initiated when a customer order needs to be updated with a new product, especially due to engineering changes. Options A and B describe stages related to shipping rather than picking, and option C is about material replenishment, not directly related to the picking process.
