ABSTRACT:
Inventory management of plural components at an end user inventory is simplified by tracking components with shipment identification codes used to ship the components from a component vendor through a shipment vendor. A component order module associated with the end user places components orders with a component vendor order engine for shipment by the shipment vendor. The component vendor order engine obtains a shipment identification code for shipment of the component and provides the code to the end user component order module. The component ships in a container having the shipment identification code presented on the exterior as a barcode that is scanned on delivery of the container to the end user. After delivery, an inventory manager tracks the component in the inventory with the shipment identification barcode until the component is used. Removal of the component tracked by a scan of the barcode by the inventory manager may trigger re-order of the component from the component vendor with the component identified by the shipment identification code.
