解説
問 35
Incorrectア
ETC stands for Electronic Toll Collection, a system that lets vehicles pass through highway tollgates without stopping and settles the toll automatically. Its purpose is paying transportation tolls, not collecting a store's sales-management and inventory-management data, so it is incorrect.
Incorrectイ
GPS stands for Global Positioning System, a system that measures the current position (latitude and longitude) using radio signals from satellites. It is a technology for obtaining location information, not for collecting sales and inventory information at the point of sale, so it is incorrect.
- ウ
正解 The correct answer is (ウ), POS. POS stands for Point of Sale, a system that scans product barcodes and the like at a store checkout and collects and records, at the very moment of sale, data on when, which product, and how many units were sold. The collected data is used for sales totaling, automatic inventory updates, and analysis of ordering and product assortment. The statement in the question — collecting the information needed for sales management and inventory management by reading data such as product codes and purchaser attributes at the point of sale — describes exactly how a POS system works, so (ウ) is correct.
Incorrectエ
SCM stands for Supply Chain Management, a method or system that coordinates and optimizes the entire flow from raw-material procurement through production, logistics, and sales across companies. It is not a system that reads and collects point-of-sale data at individual checkouts, so it is incorrect.
ここがポイント
- Grasp that POS (Point of Sale) is a system that scans product codes and the like at the checkout and collects sales and inventory data at the very moment of sale.
- Be able to distinguish it from ETC (automatic toll collection), GPS (positioning), and SCM (supply chain management) in terms of use, together with the meaning of each three-letter acronym.
