Solution: The chemicals company developed a “floating warehouse” and goods are shipped prior to the order.
Results: Ten days after the shipment is on the water, they start to sell product. When the shipment hits the port the goods are dynamically allocated. The key to enabling this floating warehouse is certainty of in-transit materials. The concept of the floating warehouse is not new but a granular view of specific inventory combined with the ability to know exactly when the shipment will arrive creates a huge advantage.
