Answer analysis

Option-by-option breakdown

For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.

• ✗

  Empty Bin

  Why it's wrong here

  The 'Empty Bin' strategy searches for empty storage bins only, ignoring bins that already contain the product. It does not consider existing stock or available capacity in partially filled bins, so it would not consolidate stock or check capacity against existing quantities. This strategy is suitable when you want to store products in separate bins, not when you want to add to existing stock.

• ✗

  Fixed Bin

  Why it's wrong here

  The 'Fixed Bin' strategy assigns a specific bin to a product, and putaway always goes to that bin if it has capacity. While it can check capacity, it does not search for the best bin based on available capacity among multiple bins containing the product. It is used for dedicated storage and does not optimize across bins based on existing stock.

• ✓

  Addition to Existing Stock

  Why this is correct

  The 'Addition to Existing Stock' putaway strategy searches for storage bins that already contain the product and have sufficient remaining capacity to accommodate the additional quantity. It considers the current stock and bin capacity, ensuring that the putaway quantity fits. This strategy is ideal when you want to consolidate stock in bins and optimize space utilization based on existing inventory.

• ✗

  Next Empty Bin

  Why it's wrong here

  The 'Next Empty Bin' strategy finds the next empty bin in a sequence, typically used for random putaway. It does not evaluate existing stock or capacity in partially filled bins, so it cannot determine the best bin based on available capacity for additional stock. This strategy is simple but does not meet the requirement of considering existing quantities.
