Abstract: A global supply chain solution database software package manages inventory levels and tracks internal shipment of parts and products between areas. It may automatically order or reorder inventory from suppliers and ship products to customers. Integrated inventory, tracking, transportation, automated ordering, receiving, sales, shipping, and contract software modules residing on several workstations through the manufacturing process are tied together for accuracy through a central server computer. Time flow analysis and management reporting is provided at every step of the process in standard and custom formats. A secure Internet inventory interface provides visibility from the manufacturer, who may transfer responsibility for controlling its inventory and for providing “just in time”delivery to the supplier. Either the manufacturer or the supplier may control inventory.
