    This document describes a cross-docking arrangement where products from multiple plants are distributed directly to customers through a central distribution warehouse without stockpiling inventory. Plant A sends products to Customer A, Plant B sends to Customer B, and Plant C sends to Customer C. Plant B and C also mix their products, which are then sent to Customers Y, Z, and W. Vendors A and C supply parts to an assembly plant warehouse, which then assembles products for Customers. Stockpiling allows for accommodating seasonal production and demand by buffering inventory produced year-round for sale during specific marketing periods.

    Stockpiling. The direct economic benefit of stockpiling is to accommodate sea-


    sonal production or demand. For example, lawn furniture and toys are typically pro-
    duced year-round but are sold only during a very short marketing period. In contrast,
    agricultural products are harvested at specific times, with subsequent consumption oc-
    curring throughout the year. Both situations require inventory stockpiling to support
    marketing efforts. Stockpiling provides an inventory buffer, which allows production
    efficiencies within the constraints imposed by material sources and consumers.
