B.

C.

The Answer Is:
A
This question includes an explanation.
Explanation:
AYard Management System (YMS)is a logistics tool used to manage the movement, location, and status of trailers and containers within a distribution center’s yard. CLT 4.0 describes YMS as an extension of warehouse management, providing real-time visibility into trailer positions, load status, and dock assignments. It coordinates yard jockey movements and reduces congestion, dwell time, and detention fees. Unlike an IMS or ERP—which manage inventory or enterprise data—YMS specifically enhances outbound/inbound trailer efficiency. It often integrates with WMS (Warehouse Management System) and TMS (Transportation Management System) for seamless dock scheduling and carrier communication.
