APICS Certified Supply Chain Professional (CSCP) — Question 198

Which of the following measures effectively evaluates overall resources in a distribution warehouse?

Answer options

• A. Throughput
• B. Cube utilization
• C. Filled pallet positions
• D. Labor efficiency

Correct answer: A

Explanation

Throughput is the measure that represents the amount of product moving through the warehouse over a specific period, making it a key indicator of overall resource effectiveness. Cube utilization, filled pallet positions, and labor efficiency are important metrics, but they do not provide a comprehensive evaluation of the overall resources like throughput does.
