Should help increase inventory turnover because the inventory doesn't go into your plant and sit on your shelf. Supplier ships right to customer. Typically you get the customer order, and you maybe used to make the part but now you buy it, so you order from your supplier once you get order from customer and ask supplier to 'drop ship' direct to your customer.
