	<ConceptSection><Paragraph><GUIRef href="/baanerp/tc/domains/sups#tpop" role="enum">Time-Phased Order Point</GUIRef> is a demand-pull system that regulates the time-phased supply of items to shop floor warehouses.</Paragraph>
		<Paragraph>Time-phased means that warehouse orders are generated as a result of manually running a session which checks whether the inventory of the item will drop below the reorder point within the specified order horizon.</Paragraph>
		<List><ListIntro>The quantity of items that is supplied to the shop floor warehouse depends on:</ListIntro>
			<ListItem>The available inventory in the shop floor warehouse.</ListItem>
			<ListItem>The inventory that is planned to be delivered to the shop floor warehouse within the specified order horizon.</ListItem>
			<ListItem>The specified reorder point for the item and shop floor warehouse.</ListItem>
			<ListItem>The available inventory plus the planned inventory: if they are below the reorder point, the inventory in the shop floor warehouse is replenished.</ListItem>
		</List>
		<Paragraph>In <GUIRef href="/baanerp/tc/domains/sups#tpop" role="enum">Time-Phased Order Point</GUIRef>, unlike in <GUIRef href="/baanerp/tc/domains/sups#kanban" role="enum">KANBAN</GUIRef>, inventory administration is performed for the items that are used in the shop floor warehouse.</Paragraph>
		<List><ListIntro>The <GUIRef href="/baanerp/tc/domains/sups#tpop" role="enum">Time-Phased Order Point</GUIRef> supply system is applicable if:</ListIntro>
			<ListItem>Parts usage by assembly order by line station is known (inventory administration is performed at the shop floor warehouse).</ListItem>
			<ListItem>Assembly orders allocate parts at the shop floor warehouse.</ListItem>
			<ListItem>Parts are backflushed against shop floor warehouse.</ListItem>
			<ListItem>There is a low volume of parts.</ListItem>
			<ListItem>Shop floor warehouse has no room for batch storage of large parts.</ListItem>
			<ListItem>You have slow movers or irregular demand.</ListItem>
