Description

従来の物流モデルにおいて、小売業者は、流通センター(「DC」)でケースのパレットを受け取るが、流通センターの本質的な役割は、各店舗に必要とされる(注文された)製品の特定セットのケースを定期的に出荷することによって店舗ネットワークの在庫を補充することである。大部分のDCにおいて、それらの注文は、手動によるケースピッキングプロセスを使用して履行され、このプロセスにおいて、ケースのパレットは、通路に配列され、人間オペレータは、製品パレットを次々に移動して店舗によって注文された数量のケースを各々から移動させて、選択されたケースを店舗に出荷される注文パレット上に置く。一部のDCにおいて、自動ケースピッキングシステムが使用され、そのうちの最も高度なシステムは、米国特許第8,425,173号に記載されるような移動ロボットを利用する。しかしながら、注文履行プロセスが手動か又は自動化されているかを問わず、ほとんど全ての製品に関して店舗が利用可能な唯一の注文単位はケースである。このことは、店舗は、所与の製品(在庫維持単位つまり「SKU」によって表された)の在庫を補充する必要があるときはいつでも、その製品が一般に店舗内で経験する販売速度に無関係に、少なくとも、メーカーによって供給された標準出荷ケース内に収容されるそのSKUのイーチの数量を受け取ることになることを意味する。用語「SKU」は、本明細書では、単一の製品又は商品(別名、イーチ)を指すために利用される。しかしながら、本発明は、当業者であれば理解できるように、SKUを有するアイテムのみに限定されない。SKUは、説明を明暸にする目的で選択された例示的な実施形態に関連して本明細書で利用されるにすぎない。
