Point of Use Delivery
Point of Use Delivery is the process of delivering an item directly to the production floor, rather than to a storage area.
Point of Use Delivery includes:
- Delivering items directly to the production line.
- Using just-in-time delivery methods.
- Reducing inventory levels.
- Improving production efficiency.
Point of Use Delivery can help reduce:
- costs and improve productivity by reducing the need for handling and storage,
- the risk of damage or loss,
- lead times.
For example, if a company produces widgets, the raw materials needed to make the widgets may be delivered directly to the production line as they are needed, rather than being delivered to a central storage area. This reduces the need for handling and storing the raw materials, and can help improve production efficiency.
Point of Use Delivery is a key component of lean manufacturing and just-in-time production methods.
