With auto replenishment orders are sent electronically, often from a PC on a production line. Typically a two-bin system for parts is used in a low mix, high volume environment. When one bin is empty a scanner is used to wand the bar code of the bin. The scanner is plugged into the PC which transmits the order requirements via electronic data interchange to the supplier. The distributor would then deliver another bin of parts before the second bin was empty. Procurement costs are reduced because there are no paper purchase orders to maintain. Inventory is reduced and turns are increased. There are many different versions of auto replenishment distributor programs. Consignment
