Which of the following is an advantage of distributor storage with carrier delivery?

A) Inventory cost is higher than with manufacturer storage.
B) Product variety is lower than with manufacturer storage.
C) Order visibility for the customer is easier than with manufacturer storage.
D) Higher cost to provide the same level of product availability as manufacturer storage.

With distributor storage and carrier delivery, customers can easily track their shipments and be informed of the estimated delivery date. This improves order visibility and customer satisfaction. Additionally, the distributor may have a wider range of product offerings than the manufacturer, providing more variety for customers. However, this method may result in higher inventory costs and potentially higher costs to achieve the same level of product availability as with manufacturer storage.
