A computer system for use in reducing overall pipeline inventory within a distribution network that includes a central warehouse that is: (1) adjacent a transportation hub; and (2) configured to store sufficient component parts to provide a regular stream of parts to each of a plurality of manufacturing facilities. The computer system is preferably configured for coordinating the transportation of a regular stream of parts to each of the manufacturing facilities by transporting component parts from the central warehouse to the manufacturing facilities primarily via an expedited delivery service performed using the transportation hub. The expedited delivery service may include, for example, guaranteed delivery within one or two days. This reduces the overall pipeline and warehouse inventory within the distribution network by reducing the average transit time for each part, and by reducing the amount of safety stock that is needed to support the operations of the manufacturing facilities.
L'invention porte sur un système informatique destiné à être utilisé dans la réduction des stocks en transit d'un réseau de distribution qui comprend un entrepôt central qui est (1) adjacent à une plate-forme de transport ; et (2) est configuré pour stocker suffisamment de composants afin d'avoir un flux régulier de pièces vers chaque unité d'une pluralité d'unités de production. Le système informatique est de préférence configuré pour coordonner le transport d'un flux régulier de pièces vers chacune des unités de production en transportant les composants de l'entrepôt central aux unités de production via un service de distribution accéléré effectué à l'aide de la plate-forme de transport. Le service de distribution accéléré peut garantir une distribution en un ou deux jours. Ceci réduit la gestion des stocks en transit et en entrepôts dans le réseau de distribution, ainsi que le temps de transit moyen pour chaque pièce, et la quantité de stocks de sécurité nécessaire pour supporter les opérations des unités de production.
