Sažetak
Inventory optimization is critical in order to keep costs under control within the supply chain. Supplies of spare parts produce significant logistics costs for storage, delivery/shipping and transport of those spare parts. 3-D printers provide new possibilities for inventory management. In focus of possibilities are „near-sourcing“, creating the production closer to consumption and production strategy „make to order“. Over a long period, reduced costs of stocks transport and warehouse management could justify the investment in 3-D printers. If implemented in spare part industry, 3-D printers will for sure make big influence on supply chains activities and whole 3PL industry.
