ABSTRACT:
A system and method for requesting delivery of sequenced parts that accounts for parts in inventory is disclosed. Production schedule data is used to determine gross-based requirements that are modified based on inventory data to determine net-based requirements. Parts are delivered in containers. The system and method support small lots and allow parts to be mixed within a container. Parts are sequenced within the containers as well as on trailers that transport the part containers to the production facility. A lot sequence number indicates the order in which lots are consumed during production and therefore, packed in a container. The lot sequence number further indicates the priority for loading containers on a trailer. A batch number is used to link lot numbers.
