Transit Inventory Management Services
The Transit Inventory Management Services initiative provides an
opportunity for Ontario municipal transit systems to participate in a
joint procurement and inventory management of bus parts. Bus parts are
purchased on a consignment or non-consignment basis from a single source
with vendor managed inventory model. The objective of the initiative is
to help transit systems to improve their inventory management through
timely delivery, improved availability, favourable pricing and lowered
carrying costs. The program w
ill further allow transit systems to better
manage obsolescence, shrinkage and parts handling. Metrolinx is
currently working with nine municipal partners and its GO Transit
division to deliver this new inventory management model.
Got an idea for Metrolinx’s Transit Procurement Initiative to procure
jointly?
