To decide which is the least efficient method, look at the distance that should be covered, and the method that will facilitate damage reduction of materials.
Correct Answer:
B
While distance covered and damage reduction are important factors in evaluating material handling methods, the statement is misleading. To determine the least efficient method, one should consider factors like excessive time, energy consumption, or labor intensity, not just distance and damage reduction (which are more aligned with identifying efficient methods). The CIPS L3M6 syllabus suggests a holistic evaluation of efficiency, including cost, speed, and resource use, rather than focusing solely on these two aspects. Thus, the statement is false as it oversimplifies the assessment process.
