BAT Training UPDATED Exam Questions
and CORRECT Answers
Flow Through - CORRECT ANSWER - Does not have DF safety stock, as there should be
demand for all just in time inventory that comes into the DF, allowing for it to flow right out
Product comes into the DF on pallets
Product CAN be slotted and stored for a short period of time
Safety stock - CORRECT ANSWER - the amount of inventory carried in addition to the
expected demand
Safety stock can only be set at the store level; multi-drop product goes directly to stores, never to
the DF. Cross-dock product, while it will be moved through the DF, is never slotted in the DF, as
it is picked and packed by the vendor
Cross-dock (UCC 128) - CORRECT ANSWER - A distribution center to which vendors
ship merchandise prepackaged and ready for sale. The merchandise goes to a staging area rather
than into storage. When all the merchandise going to a particular store has arrived in the staging
area, it is loaded onto a truck, and away it goes. Thus, merchandise goes from the receiving dock
to the shipping dock—cross dock.
