Resevoir Inc runs several oil refineries across the country. These refineries require heavy invest-ment, particularly in maintenance, repair and operating (MRO) inventory. But the inventory turno-ver rate of these MRO items are low, while some items have expired date, which increases the risks of obsolescence. Which of the following methods can address the issues of these MRO items?
Where stock turn (inventory turnover) is low and there are potential risks of redundancy or obsolescence, the buying organisation may adopt vendor owned stock. In this system, a supplier (vendor) maintains a stock of items ready to be used at the point of customer consumption. The supplier owns the stock until it is used by the purchaser; only then is the purchaser invoiced for it.
Just in case and larger safety stock would significantly increase the stock level, which may cause redundancy or obsolescence.

Which of the following are typical characteristics of 2D barcodes? Select TWO that apply.
Two-dimensional (2D) barcodes look like squares or rectangles that contain many small, individual dots. This has many different types (i.e. Data matrix, QR codes, Aztec code,...) and several different standards in use (i.e. GS1 standards, ISO/IEC 18004:2015). It can be substituted for 1D barcode, but it has the capability to hold a larger amount of data. For examples, GS1 Data Matrix can contain 3116 Numeric characters or 2335 Alphanumeric characters while GS1-128 barcode has maximum capacity of 48 characters.
Like 1D barcodes, 2D barcodes are also machine-readable with dots/squares and spaces. They have symbology like this:
Since the code is two dimensional, conventional laser scanner can't read it. 2D barcodes require imaging scanner to read.
2D barcodes can be also used for different purposes throughout the supply chain: identifying prod-ucts/SKU (single unit, packaged or pallet), identifying content of a purchase order or delivery, identifying the batch number from which the item originates, identifying the manufacturer, country of origin etc, tracking status of an order, shipment or delivery

Indirect stock refers to items that are necessary for the operation of the manufacturing process but are not incorporated into the finished product. Examples include maintenance supplies, office consumables, and tools. In whole-life asset management, indirect stock management ensures that essential operational items are available without tying up excessive capital in inventory that doesn't contribute directly to production output.
Which of the following allow an organisation to have more flexible space for storage by leveraging the facilities of other parties? Select TWO that apply.
