Direct issues are items that bypass which stage?

Direct issues are items that bypass which stage?

• A. Storage
• B. Receiving
• C. Production
• D. Packaging

Answer: (A)

Direct issues test how items move when they’re needed for production right away rather than kept in inventory. These items are issued directly from receiving to the production area, bypassing the storeroom or storage stage. This happens for things that must be used immediately or in very small quantities that aren’t kept in stock, so they don’t become part of the regular storeroom inventory. You still verify the items at receipt, but they don’t go into storage to be pulled later. The other stages—receiving and production—still occur, and packaging is involved in preparing finished products, not in the flow for direct issues.
