Which task is part of replenishment preparation?

• A. Check forward stock and reserve stock
• B. Prepare folding table and trash bag
• C. Unpack items and carry them to salesfloor
• D. Line up items on shelves

Answer: (B)

Replenishment preparation is about setting up the workspace and tools so restocking can happen smoothly. Having a folding table and a trash bag ready lets you unpack and sort items in a clean, organized area, count and verify stock, and manage packaging waste as you work. This setup directly supports the prep phase of replenishment, making the whole process faster and tidier.

In contrast, checking forward stock and reserve stock relates to inventory planning rather than preparing the replenishment task itself. Unpacking items and carrying them to the sales floor is the actual replenishment action, and lining up items on shelves happens after preparation and stocking. So preparing a folding table and trash bag best fits the replenishment preparation step.
