According to the process described, which action is part of ensuring correct shipment?

• A. Printing labels only
• B. Scanning twice and verification before dispatch
• C. Delivering without scanning
• D. Scanning once

Answer: (B)

Correct shipment relies on confirming each item’s identity and its destination through scanning and verification at key steps before it leaves the facility. Scanning twice and verifying before dispatch does this by providing a double-check: you scan during picking to confirm you have the right item and quantity, then scan again before dispatch to ensure the scanned item matches the shipment label, customer address, and service level in the system. This creates a reliable audit trail and catches any mismatches before the parcel goes out, reducing the chance of mis-ship, lost packages, or incorrect destinations. Printing labels alone doesn’t verify that the label belongs to the item in hand, and delivering without scanning removes the link between the physical item and the shipment data. Scanning once offers a check, but a second scan adds redundancy to catch errors that slip through the first scan.
