point-of-use inventory
Definition
Stock-keeping units (SKUs) that are stored at the location where they will be used. This type of inventory management is often found in manufacturing or production assembly lines. This is a lean manufacturing practice that tends to minimize the amount of inventory kept on hand since available space is typically limited at the point-of-use.
