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