Abstract
One of the specifics of the service parts solution is that the supply chain network has a tree-like structure with one or more entry location—this is where the supplier delivers to—and for each entry location (optionally) one or more child locations. Looking from the demand side, there is a strict single sourcing. This fix and hierarchical distribution structure is modelled as a bill of distribution (BOD). The BOD is used throughout the whole service parts planning solution—from capture demand to inventory balancing.
