Independent Demand Item Management Models: Models for the management of items whose
demand is not strongly influenced by other items managed by the same company. These models can
be characterized as follows: (1) stochastic or deterministic, depending on the variability of demand
and other factors; (2) fixed quantity, fixed cycle, or hybrid - (optional replenishment). Also see: Fixed
Reorder Cycle Inventory Model, Fixed Reorder Quantity Inventory Model, Optional Replenishment

direct or repeatable cause-and-effect relationship exists. An indirect cost uses an assignment or
allocation to transfer cost. Also see: Direct Cost, Support Costs

electronic systems.
Indirect Retail Locations: A retail location that ultimately sells your product to consumers, but who
purchases your products from an intermediary, like a distributor or wholesaler.
Infinite Loading: Calculation of the capacity required at work centers in the time periods required
regardless of the capacity available to perform this work.

way to assist in planning, implementing, and controlling.

Inland Bill of Lading: The carriage contract used in transport from a shipping point overland to the
exporter's international carrier location.
Inland Carrier: An enterprise that offers overland service to or from a point of import or export.
Insourcing: The opposite of outsourcing, that is, a serve performed in-house.
Inspection Certificate: A document certifying that merchandise (such as perishable goods) was in
good condition immediately prior to shipment.
