APICS Certified in Logistics, Transportation and Distribution (CLTD) — Question 5

Random stocking can be greatly improved through the use of a(n):

Answer options

• A. advanced planning system (APS).
• B. inventory management system (IMS)
• C. transportation management system (TMS).
• D. warehouse management system (WMS).

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A, as an advanced planning system (APS) is specifically designed to optimize inventory levels and stocking processes. While an inventory management system (IMS), transportation management system (TMS), and warehouse management system (WMS) contribute to different aspects of logistics, they do not focus primarily on improving the random stocking process as effectively as an APS.
