Supply Chain, WMS & Enterprise Technology answers and explanations

Q1.What does WMS stand for in logistics?
A warehouse management system (WMS) is software that tracks inventory and directs tasks inside a warehouse, such as receiving, putaway, picking and shipping.
Q2.What does ERP stand for?
ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning) software joins finance, purchasing, inventory, sales and HR in one system, so every department works from the same data. SAP and Oracle are well-known examples.
Q3.In inventory management, what does FIFO mean?
Under FIFO (first in, first out) the oldest stock is used or sold first, which matters for perishable goods. LIFO does the opposite and uses the newest stock first.
Q4.Which technology uses radio waves to identify tagged items without direct line of sight?
RFID tags use radio waves to identify items without a direct line of sight, unlike barcodes, which must be scanned one at a time. A reader can scan many tagged items on a pallet at once.
Q5.What does a just-in-time (JIT) approach aim to do?
Just-in-time (JIT) inventory cuts holding costs by receiving materials only as they are needed for production, but it depends on reliable suppliers.
