Features of Warehouse Management System

Warehouse Management Systems are gaining importance similar to that of other software solutions. A typical warehouse management system would include controlling the movement of materials and the storage of the materials. Though these functionalities are very basic, the warehouse management system is expanding its functionalities to include light manufacturing, transportation management, order management, and integrated with the accounting systems. Now warehouse management systems are transforming into warehouse focused ERP(Enterprise Resource planning) system.
It is found that there are overlaps in the functionality of the warehouse management and the enterprise resource planning, distribution requirements planning, transportation management systems, supply chain planning and scheduling. If all these are to have separate software, the company that is using the software will get confused with the software solution provided separately. Hence there is a need for an integrated system that will have warehouse management and other related operations of the company.
There are many software vendors who provide warehouse management software. Although there are many vendors, the basic functionality of the warehouse management system is not changed. The primary purpose is to control the movement and storage of the materials. A good warehouse management system would have a flexible location system, get user defined parameters to direct warehouse tasks and use live documents for execution of the tasks. Some form of integration with other devices is possible so that the warehouse management system gets live data from other devices connected to it.
Not every warehouse will need a warehouse management system. If the operation of the warehouse is continuous and very frequent with a lot of transactions per day then a warehouse management system would justify the cost involved in setting it up. A lot of initial setup is to be done to keep the data warehouse management systems to run and to keep the current operation on the run. There must be a smooth transition from the current system to the warehouse management system. Often a separate department is set up to monitor the operations of the warehouse and to use the information system related to that of the warehouse .management system.
Automated data collection in the warehouse management system would reduce the cost in the labour and increase the accuracy of the data. It increases the effectiveness of the service provided to the customer by reducing the cycle time. Inventory reduction and increased storage capacity are less likely. The level of safety stock can be reduced while increasing the efficiency of the system.

【正确答案】 C

【答案解析】题干意为：下面关于仓储管理和其他商务运作的叙述正确的是?A项意为：它们都有各自不同的辅助软件，B项意为：有一个将仓储管理和其他商务操作结合起来的系统，C项意为：仓储管理和配送需求计划有共同点。原文第二段提到：“如果所有的运作都要使用不同的软件，则公司会由于每个软件提出的不同解决方案而困惑。”由此可推，公司并不是孤立地使用不同的软件处理商务问题，故A项不正确。原文指出：“需要有将仓储管理和公司的其他相关运作结合的统一系统。”这只是一种需要，而不是事实，故B项错误。原文提到：“仓储管理和企业资源计划、配送需求计划……有重叠之处。”因此C项正确，故答案为C。

单选题 Which is correct concerning warehouse management software?
A. Warehouse management software is abundant in type.
B. The warehouse management software of different vendors has different aspects as the basic functionality.
C. The purpose of warehouse management software is to control the movement and storage of the materials.

【正确答案】 A

【答案解析】题干意为：关于仓储管理软件的叙述中哪一个是正确的?A项意为：仓储管理软件种类繁多，B项意为：由于厂商不同仓储管理系统的基本功能也不同，C项意为：仓储管理软件的目的是控制材料的转移与储存。原文第三段第一句指出：“有很多厂商提供仓储管理软件”。由此可推出，不同的厂商各自开发自己的仓储管理软件，所以该种软件会有不同的种类，故A项正确。接着原文指出：“虽然厂商不同，但是仓储管理系统的基本功能没变。主要目的是控制材料的转移与储存。”由前一句可判断B项不正确，而后一句话根据文章逻辑，其主语为仓储管理系统，所以控制材料的转移与储存的主语不是仓储管理软件，故C项错误，故答案为A。

单选题 Which is a feature of a good warehouse management system in directing warehouse tasks?
A. The performance should be based on the set location of materials.
B. The operation should be based on data attained before operation.
C. The tasks should be fulfilled by adjusting to different requirements from the user.

【正确答案】 C

【答案解析】题干意为：哪一项是良好的仓储管理系统指挥仓储任务时的特点?A项意为：将操作基于固定的材料地点，B项意为：运行过程基于运作过程前获得的参数，C项意为：根据用户的不同需要进行调整。原文第三段第四行提到：“好的仓储管理系统应该有灵活的地点机制，获取用户制定的参数指导仓储任务，并使用实时文献数据进行运作。”由此可推出A项地点是固定的说法错误，而“实时”的文献数据说明操作中要根据情况运作，而不是按照操作前的数据进行运作，所以B项错误，而C项正确，故答案为C。

单选题 What is the alternative for warehouses not using a warehouse management system?
A. They carry out a lot of transactions per day.
B. They spend a long period of time on setting up a new system.
C. They set up a new department to monitor the operations of the warehouse.

【正确答案】 C

【答案解析】题干意为：不使用仓储管理系统的仓库可以怎样做?A项意为：每天进行很多交易，B项意为：花大量时间建立新的系统，C项意为：建立起新的部门来管理仓库的运营。原文第四段指出：“如果仓库的运作是持续、经常性的，并且每天有大量的交易，则花费大量资金建立仓储管理系统能说得过去。”由此可知，每天有大量交易的仓库有建立仓储管理系统的必要，因此A项不正确；另外，建立该系统要花费大量资金而不是时间，故B项错误。C项与文中第四段最后提到的“通常会成立一个独立的部门监控仓库的运营”一致，所以正确，故答案为C。

单选题 Which statement is Not true about warehouse management system?
A. It increases the capacity of a warehouse.
B. It is cost-effective.
C. It increases the efficiency of service delivered.

【正确答案】 A

【答案解析】题干意为：下列哪个关于仓储管理系统的叙述不正确?A项意为：它提高了仓库的容量，B项意为：它是有成本效益的，C项意为：它会提高服务效率。原文第五段第四行提到：“增加存储量已经很不可能。”所以A项所述内容错误。而第五段第一行指出：“仓储管理系统的自动数据收集功能能够降低人力成本”，所以B项正确。而C项与第五段第二行提到的“它通过降低循环时间而提高了服务的效率”相符，故答案为A。
