Zorluk: OrtaCategorical Classification and Sorting

A central logistics facility classifies incoming freight shipments into four priority processing queues—Queue 1 (Highest Priority), Queue 2, Queue 3, and Queue 4 (Lowest Priority)—based on two parameters: Hazard Level (High, Medium, Low) and Perishability Index (1 to 5, where 5 indicates maximum perishability).

The classification rules are as follows:
- Queue 1: Any shipment with a High Hazard Level, OR a Perishability Index of 4 or 5.
- Queue 2: Any shipment NOT in Queue 1 that has a Medium Hazard Level AND a Perishability Index of 3.
- Queue 3: Any shipment NOT in Queue 1 or 2 that has a Low Hazard Level with a Perishability Index of 3, OR a Medium Hazard Level with a Perishability Index less than 3.
- Queue 4: Any shipment NOT in Queue 1, 2, or 3 that has a Low Hazard Level with a Perishability Index of 1 or 2.

Four shipments are evaluated:
- Shipment Alpha: Low Hazard Level, Perishability Index of 5
- Shipment Beta: Medium Hazard Level, Perishability Index of 3
- Shipment Gamma: Medium Hazard Level, Perishability Index of 2
- Shipment Delta: Low Hazard Level, Perishability Index of 1

Based on the classification rules, in what sequence should these four shipments be arranged from highest priority queue (Queue 1) to lowest priority queue (Queue 4)?

  1. 1Shipment Alpha
  2. 2Shipment Beta
  3. 3Shipment Gamma
  4. 4Shipment Delta

Cevap

The correct sequence from highest to lowest priority is Shipment Alpha (Queue 1), Shipment Beta (Queue 2), Shipment Gamma (Queue 3), and Shipment Delta (Queue 4).
Evaluating each shipment according to the rules places Shipment Alpha in Queue 1 (highest priority due to Perishability Index 5), Shipment Beta in Queue 2 (Medium Hazard and Perishability Index 3), Shipment Gamma in Queue 3 (Medium Hazard and Perishability Index 2), and Shipment Delta in Queue 4 (Low Hazard and Perishability Index 1). Thus, the correct priority order is Shipment Alpha, Shipment Beta, Shipment Gamma, Shipment Delta.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Evaluate Shipment Alpha against the priority queue rules.
Shipment Alpha has Low Hazard Level and Perishability Index 5. Since Perishability Index is 5, it satisfies Queue 1.
Queue 1 includes any shipment with a High Hazard Level or a Perishability Index of 4 or 5.
2
Evaluate Shipment Beta against the priority queue rules.
Shipment Beta has Medium Hazard Level and Perishability Index 3. It does not meet Queue 1 criteria, but meets Queue 2 criteria.
Queue 2 specifies Medium Hazard Level and Perishability Index of 3.
3
Evaluate Shipment Gamma against the priority queue rules.
Shipment Gamma has Medium Hazard Level and Perishability Index 2. It falls under Queue 3.
Queue 3 includes Medium Hazard Level shipments with a Perishability Index less than 3.
4
Evaluate Shipment Delta against the priority queue rules.
Shipment Delta has Low Hazard Level and Perishability Index 1. It falls under Queue 4.
Queue 4 specifies Low Hazard Level with a Perishability Index of 1 or 2.
