CO-MANAGED INVENTORY (CMI)
Procurement management mode in which the distributor agrees to transmit warehouse issues and stock levels to the producer in real time (generally by EDI) so that the producer can make a replenishment proposal according to the rules previously established in the specifications. This proposal is considered either as firm (Vendor Managed Inventory or VMI) or submitted for validation by the distributor (Co- Managed Inventory or CMI).
