Answer choices
Why each option matters
Answer the question above first, then reveal the full breakdown to understand why each option is right or wrong.
Correct answer & explanation
✓
Wave processing
Wave processing is the correct answer because it allows grouping of shipments into waves based on criteria such as common customer, route, or delivery date, which optimizes picking and shipping in warehouse operations. Cross-docking is a process where inbound goods are directly transferred to outbound trucks without storage, not for grouping frequently shipped items. Cluster picking is a picking method where items for multiple orders are picked in a single pass, but it does not involve grouping items based on being frequently shipped together. Kanban is a lean manufacturing method used for signaling replenishment, not for warehouse grouping.
