Merge in transit
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
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.[1] 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.[2] These industries are usually dynamic and flexible, in which products have been developed and changed rapidly.[3]
