A large quantity of stock agreed to be consigned by a supplier into the custody of a purchasing company, to enable the purchaser to make small individual withdrawals from it from his own premises as it is needed. That is, consignment stock is paid for and owned by the supplier, with the buyer financially responsible only for housing and insurance. Payments for stock withdrawals by the buyer are made only when the withdrawals actually take place. The waste inherent in this practice includes the holding of excess stock for a long period and the possibility of loss of control of quality. There is also waste in the form of stock housing, stock management, insurance and so on, which would not be incurred if the material were made available by individual deliveries and manufactured just before the time it was actually needed.
