Philosophy of inventory where supply (inventory) is allocated from the production site to the warehouses based on the forecast for each warehouse. This method can best be applied when production quantities exceed the short-term quantities of orders. These quantities must be allocated to the stocking points preferably in some way that makes economic sense.
