解説
問 23
Incorrectア
Traceability is a mechanism that lets you track the history of “when, where, and by whom” a product or raw material was made and distributed. Its purpose is quality control and ensuring safety in food and manufacturing, not a concept for optimizing physical distribution as a whole, so it is incorrect.
Incorrectイ
Best practice is a general term referring to a success case or the best method that achieved the finest results in a given task; it is not a concept of optimization limited to the field of physical distribution, so it is incorrect.
Incorrectウ
Benchmarking is a management method that compares your own company with excellent peers or industry standards, identifies improvement points from the gaps, and adopts them into your own company. It is a method of comparison and improvement, not a concept of integrating and optimizing physical distribution from procurement through sales, so it is incorrect.
- エ
正解 The correct answer is “エ Logistics.” Logistics is the concept of treating the entire flow of goods — procurement, production, inventory, transportation, and sales — as a single system, and planning, managing, and improving physical distribution from the perspective of overall optimization. The stem’s description, “optimizing physical distribution while taking into account a broad scope including procurement, production, and sales,” matches the definition of logistics itself, so エ is appropriate.
ここがポイント
- Logistics = the concept of integrally grasping the entire flow of goods, including procurement, production, and sales, and managing and optimizing it for overall optimization. The point tested is that it is a broader concept than mere transportation or delivery.
- Distinguishing confusable management terms: be able to separate traceability (history tracking), best practice (the best success case), and benchmarking (comparison against and improvement toward superior cases) by their definitions.
