摘要： 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.

摘要翻译： 一种用于减少分布网络内的总体管道库存的计算机系统，其包括中央仓库：（1）邻近交通枢纽; 和（2）构造成存储足够的组件以向多个制造设施中的每一个提供规则的零件流。 计算机系统优选地被配置为主要通过使用运输集线器执行的快速递送服务，将组件从中央仓库运送到制造设施来协调通常的零件流到每个制造设施的运输。 加急递送服务可以包括例如在一天或两天内保证递送。 通过减少每个零件的平均通行时间，并减少支持制造设施运行所需的安全库存量，从而减少配送网络内的整体管道和仓库库存。
