In vendor-managed inventory, the supplier maintains material for the buyer, often delivering directly to the buyer's using department. It is a form of outsourcing, because the buying firm has transferred the shipping, stocking, and receiving tasks to an external vendor. There are many instances of VMI in today's retail model, e.g., shelves of snack foods and soft drinks are routinely managed by the distributor, not the retailer.
