Which term refers to a facility used to store and distribute goods?

• A. Reverse Logistics
• B. Just-in-Time (JIT)
• C. Distribution Center
• D. EDI

Answer: (C)

Distribution centers are facilities designed to store inventory and manage its redistribution through the supply chain. They receive goods, hold them, and then pick, pack, and ship items to customers or to other facilities, keeping products moving efficiently. This term specifically describes a place whose primary function is storage and distribution, whereas reverse logistics deals with returns, Just-in-Time focuses on reducing inventory and timing of replenishment, and EDI is an electronic data exchange method. Therefore, distribution center is the term that best fits the description.
