What is the main goal of a total covering (set covering) problem?

• Maximize the number of facilities placed
• Minimize the number of facilities needed to cover all demand points
• Maximize the number of customers per facility
• Minimize the total cost of facility construction

In the partial cover problem, what is fixed in advance?

• The cost of each facility
• The total distance allowed
• The number of new facilities
• The number of demand points covered

Which of the following best describes the total cover problem?

• Place facilities to cover as many demand points as possible
• Cover all demand points using the fewest number of facilities
• Place one facility at each demand point
• Build the most expensive facility possible

Which of the following is true about a covering problem?

• Facilities must be located randomly.
• All demand points must be within the same region.
• A facility covers a demand point if it is within a specified maximum distance.
• Demand points must be covered by more than one facility.

What is the objective of the total cover problem?

• Maximize the number of facilities built
• Minimize the number of customers uncovered
• Minimize the total cost of assigning new facilities while covering all customers
• Maximize the number of customers per facility

Which of the following correctly describes the formula for calculating the total pallet positions in a warehouse?

• (Number of width modules × number of length modules × number of height modules)
• (Number of pallets per module × number of modules in all directions)
• (Number of width modules × pallets in width module) × (number of length modules × pallets in length module) × number of height modules
• Module width × Module length × Module height

Which of the following is not a component used to calculate the module width?

• Width of aisle
• 2 pallet lengths (short side)
• Clearance between back-to-back pallets
• Width of upright

In a U-flow warehouse layout, which of the following is an advantage?

• Easier security and access control from one side
• Allows doors on both sides
• Eliminates congestion completely
• Minimizes travel distance

Which is a disadvantage of the through-flow warehouse layout?

• Congestion at loading bays
• Limited access control
• Increased travel distances and complexity in access setup
• Low loading bay utilization

Module height is calculated by:

• Pallet height + clearance above pallet + racking beam height
• Pallet height × number of beams
• Number of pallets stacked × ceiling height
• Clearance between pallets + width of aisle
