storage should be properly evaluated.The decentralization of inventories, typical tiered systems, increases the amount of inventory needed to meet the desired levels of availability, also making their management more complex. Due to uncertainties caused by the division of the demand in regional areas, the maintenance of the entire line of advanced products in each center is subject to stock-outs. Thus, the initial goal of providing fast service and high availability can be affected by the occurrence of incomplete applications. Besides the risk of stock-outs are also higher risks of obsolescence due to the strategy adopted in anticipation of demand.One way to minimize the risk to the maintenance of stocks in the vanguard is the selective storage of stock. In this case, the stocks of products with low turnover rates, greater uncertainty in demand and / or with higher added value are kept in one or more central facilities. The products most traded, with more stable demand and / or lower value may have their stocks advanced as the commitment to advance these stocks has lower risk.Depending on the company and the characteristics of their products and market, the most appropriate solution may lead to the centralization of most or all of the product line. These companies tend to adopt the direct delivery systems, where orders are filled from central facilities.These systems, depending on the distances and the need of customers to serve them within a certain time window, are much more dependent on reliable and fast shipping. Moreover, unlike the staggered structures, systems generate direct irregular movements of fractional loads. Thus we see that the potential for direct adoption of systems is limited by high transportation costs.The objective of enabling direct delivery systems, has been increasingly common use of facilities for intermediate load break. These facilities enable consolidation methods of transport that are not based on maintaining high levels of stocks advanced and are compatible with a strategy of rapid response and high level of flexibility. They allow, in some cases, transportation costs are direct systems as low as the staggered system.Transit PointThe Transit Point type installations are very similar to advanced distribution centers, but do not keep stocks. The Transit Point is located to meet a particular market area away from the central warehouses and operates as a transit facility, receiving shipments consolidated and separate them for local delivery to individual customers.A basic feature of Transit Point type systems is that the products have already received the targets defined, or already are pre-allocated to customers and can be immediately dispatched to local delivery. No waiting for placing orders. This is a fundamental difference compared to traditional storage facilities, where the requests are served from your inventory.The Transit Point type installations are structurally simple, requiring low investment in your installation. Its management is made easier because they are not executed stocking and picking activities that require high level of managerial control. Its maintenance cost is therefore relatively low.The Transit Points keep the same ratio of cost of transport to distribution centers advanced by allowing the movement in large distances to be made
