Shipment will be effected within how many hours of receipt of message?

• A. 12 Hours
• B. 24 Hours
• C. 48 Hours
• D. 72 Hours

Answer: (B)

The idea is to ensure a timely response after a requisition arrives by setting a 24-hour window to get the shipment out. This gives enough time to verify stock, complete required paperwork, pick and pack the items, and arrange transport, while still keeping delivery rapid enough to support operations. A 12-hour target would be very tight for all the necessary steps, while 48 or 72 hours would create unnecessary delays that could affect readiness. If something is urgent, the process can be expedited, but the standard expectation is to effect shipment within 24 hours of receipt of the message.
