Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Distribution centers are warehouses designed to speed the flow of goods and avoid unnecessary storing costs. Workers and equipment immediately sort the products as they come in and then move them to an outgoing loading dock and the vehicle that will take them to their next stop. Products may be regrouped or sorted, but not stored at these facilities.
