Assets replenishment

This is notably different from Pfandbriefe where bondholders have an eventual direct recourse to non-eligible assets if cover assets are insufficient to cover their claims and become pari passu with other senior unsecured creditors. Along similar lines, in case of insolvency of an originating credit institution, asset replenishment and/ or substitution is no longer possible, which leaves the SCF fully exposed to asset quality deterioration and repayment, and ensuing cashflow mismatches. 

Wholesalers and retailers often suffer from inefficient logistics management. Distributors may have as much as 70% of their assets in inventory that is not moving fast, while retailers receive replenishments and new products long after sales opportunities have disappeared. Optimizing distribution cycles and lowering incurred costs are a common concern for manufacturers, distributors, and retailers. 

Since inventory is a retailer s number one asset, making that asset more productive feeds the bottom line directly. Continuous and time-minimal replenishment schemes are easier with basic everyday items that move through the store quickly. Grocery stores have widely implemented electronic data system techniques to maximize the efficient replenishment of fast-moving merchandise. 

Chapters on coordination provides a description of the spare parts inventory supply chain at the US Coast Guard (USCG) [27]. We summarize the specific features of the spare parts system and the changes made to improve performance. The main supply chain support for air assets for the Coast Guard is the Aircraft Repair and Supply Center (ARSC) located in Elizabeth City, NC. Aircraft failures in the airstations are often tracked to part failures. Those parts are replaced with working parts from field inventory at the air station and the salvageable broken components are shipped to ARSC for repair. In turn, ARSC replenishes field inventory. 

This is a major asset in many businesses. It is there to buffer uncertainty of supply and demand, and to permit immediate availability when replenishment times are too lengthy. However, inventory is often regarded as a hindrance rather than a help it ties up cash, it needs resources to be stored and it becomes obsolete.
