Merge in transit : ウィキペディア英語版 | Merge in transit Merge-in-transit (MIT) is a distribution method in which several shipments from suppliers originating at different locations are consolidated into one final customer delivery. This removes the need for distribution warehouses in the supply chain, allowing customers to receive complete deliveries for their orders. Under a merge-in-transit system, merge points replace distribution warehouse. In today's global market, merge-in-transit is progressively being used in telecommunications and electronic industries.〔O'Leary. D. E. 2000. ''Reengineering Assembly, Warehouse and Billing Processes, for Electronic Commerce Using "Merge-in-Transit"''. () available at https://msbfile03.usc.edu/digitalmeasures/doleary/intellcont/Merge%20in%20Transit%202000-1.pdf (29 October 2015 )〕 These industries are usually dynamic and flexible, in which products have been developed and changed rapidly. == Purpose of merge-in-transit == Merge-in-transit allows company to assemble and transport goods simultaneously. It aims to remove the needs for distribution warehouse in the supply chain, targets at cutting down the amount of inventory stored in firm warehouses into zero, and allows customers to receive complete deliveries of their orders.〔Leal, T. 2014. ''Is Merge-In-Transit the Key to Supply Chain Efficiency?''. Transvoyant. () Available at: http://www.transvoyant.com/is-merge-in-transit-the-key-to-supply-chain-efficiency/ (28 October 2015 ).〕 Thus, transportation expenses can be lowered. From customer perspective, merge-in-transit provides value since it facilitates the delivery of a single and consolidated shipment rather than multiple smaller shipments. This also helps firms to reduce the overall inventory and process lean manufacturing.〔Goldsby, T,J., Iyengar, D., Rao, S. 2014.
