We have systems in place to manage inventories, release <br />them when signaled, and then replenish them according to customer -specific planning and/or <br />actual usage. <br />For this program, we propose a Central Stores Storeroom model, incorporating supplier - <br />consigned inventory for Central Stores. In this model, the City of Santa Ana and Shamrock will <br />identify desired inventory stocking levels, based upon historical usage, for Central Stores. <br />Shamrock will consign and manage Central Stores inventories for point -of -use distribution to the <br />City of Santa Ana requisitioners (i.e., point of purchase/title transfer) from Central Stores, <br />supported by additional dedicated inventories at Shamrock's main DC for replenishment, as <br />determined. This model provides active management of on -site Central Stores inventories, <br />ensuring Inventory availability at point -of -use and for non -planned usage, etc., while also <br />addressing reduced storage space considerations. Inventories will be managed through visual <br />inspection with necessary replenishment processed electronically. <br />
