Flow From Suppliers to Logistic Optimization Centers
To optimize the entire supply flow, Ryder manages incoming shipments from suppliers based on the product requirement information sent by the manufacturer (Material release).

Flow From Logistics Optimization Center To Manufacturing:
Once supplier shipments are received, Ryder manages the flow of materials to the manufacturing/assembly facility to provide the right parts just in time for usage. Typically, a manufacturer sends its requirements through direct signals to the warehouse system. In return, the warehouse deploys the inventory and notifies the manufacturer of incoming orders. During this process, the warehouse may also provide value-added-services.
