Comprehensive and Detailed Explanation From Exact Extract:

Core TMS functions typically include: planning & decision-making (e.g., carrier/route selection), transport execution (e.g., tendering, dispatch), transport follow-up/visibility, and measurement & reporting (KPIs). Fleet maintenance is generally a separate fleet/asset management function, not a standard TMS core function.

Which of the following are types of Auto-Identification and Data Capture (AIDC) technology used in logistics? Select THREE

  1. Barcodes
  2. Biometrics
  3. Voice recognition
  4. Smartphones
  5. Electronic data interchange

Answer(s): A,B,C

Explanation:

Comprehensive and Detailed Explanation From Exact Extract:

AIDC encompasses technologies that automatically identify items and capture data with minimal human intervention. Examples include barcodes/QR, RFID, biometrics, magnetic stripes, and voice recognition. Smartphones are devices that may host AIDC apps but are not a technology class themselves; EDI is a system-to-system messaging standard, not AIDC.

Cleo Manufacturing has introduced a new Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) system.
Which of the following is an advantage of using this technology?

  1. It replaces emails
  2. It allows humans to check the work for accuracy
  3. It is cheap to introduce
  4. It simplifies the supply chain

Answer(s): A

Explanation:

Comprehensive and Detailed Explanation From Exact Extract:

EDI automates structured, computer-to-computer exchange of business documents (e.g., POs, ASNs, invoices), replacing manual, error-prone channels such as emails and paper and reducing rekeying/latency. It typically requires investment and integration effort; it does not remove the underlying supply chain complexity, and by design reduces--not adds--manual human checking.
