A giver consumer logistics system comprises five subsystems, one of which is developed in this paper. By means of a paradigm and accompanying verbal explanation, the nature of the inventory subsystem is presented. The focal point for this presentation is the household, a primary organization for the performance oi consumer logistics activities.
