问题                     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.
The following statements concerning warehouse management and other business operations are wrong except
选项 A、they all have separate software to facilitate the process.
B、there is a system combining warehouse management and the other business practices.
C、warehouse management and distribution requirements planning have something in common.
答案C
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。
