Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Unit loading involves consolidating individual items into larger units to make handling and transport easier. This would help Garcia Controls achieve easier movement of items between internal destinations in the warehouse. Piggybacking is a form of transportation where one form of transportation (usually trucks) is carried on another (usually trains) and is not relevant to warehouse materials handling. Containerization involves using containers to transport goods across different modes of transportation and is also not relevant to materials handling within a warehouse. Inventory management and priority transportation are important concepts for efficiently managing inventory and shipping orders but are not directly related to materials handling procedures within a warehouse.
