Inventory in motion: A direct alternative to global fulfillment
by UPS Supply Chain Solutions
The most efficient, slack-free supply chains wouldn’t require any inventory buffer because supply and demand would be in perfect sync, but inventory buffers exist because of the unpredictability of the supply chain. This white paper by UPS Supply Chain Solutions describes the role of inventory in the supply chain and the direct-to-store approach. It also describes UPS Trade Direct, a direct-to-store approach offered by UPS. A direct-to-store logistics model takes companies one step closer to a slack-free supply chain.
