Which of the following is the best choice when large volumes of goods must be stored regularly?
A. Private warehouse
B. Public warehouse
C. Distribution center
D. Containerization
E. All of the above should be utilized to store goods regularly.
Answer: (A) Private warehousing would be the best choice. If a company stores large volumes of goods on a regular basis, they should probably use company-owned or private warehouses. Public warehouses (B) are best suited to seasonal use. (C) a distribution center's main function is to redistribute the stock, not to store it, so this would be an incorrect choice. Containerization (D) refers to the grouping of individual items into economical shipping quantities, and is incorrect. All of the above should not be utilized given the situation, so (E) is not the best choice.
