Inventory Management: Key Terms and Definitions
Chapter 12
Backorder: Occurs when a customer is willing to wait for the item.
Cycle Inventory: Inventory that results from purchasing or producing in larger lots than are needed for immediate consumption or sale.
Dependent Demand: Demand is directly related to the demand of other SKUs and can be calculated without needing to be forecasted.
Dynamic Demand: Demand that varies over time.
Economic Order Quantity (EOQ): A classic economic model developed in the early 1900s that minimizes the total cost, which

How is the Driving Force Transmitted to Caterpillars or Wheels?
By gearing or hydraulic systems. Drive components transmit efforts through continuous gear, brakes, and clutches.
Hydraulic systems also have the advantage that efforts are absorbed by abnormal slip of transmissions, although their frequency may lead to heating within the system. There are more sophisticated transmission systems, equivalent to those employed on tractors, that respond to power-shift technology.

System Demand
System demand refers to all the people who live in the area of influence of an institution and could potentially use its services.
- System demand is determined through a needs assessment or market demand analysis of customers.
- Segmentation: This is the process of identifying, assessing, and selecting the segment to which the entity will direct its efforts.
- Segmentation criteria: Territorial, sociodemographic, and according to need.
- Types of application: Established,

Analog vs. Digital Signals
What is the difference between analog and digital? In analog signals (e.g., in the transmission of conventional radio or television), the electrical signal that is transmitted through magnetic waves bears a striking resemblance to the sound or image that resulted, hence the name “analog,” which comes from “analogue.” Digital signals, however, bear no resemblance to the stimulus that created them and consist of a combination of ones and zeros (digits). The main advantage

General Traffic Characteristics
The offer of a service cannot be booked for use during periods of high demand.
- The interaction of supply and demand takes over on an infrastructure, vehicles, and operating rules.
- The provision of infrastructure is expensive and of a discreet nature.
- The construction of infrastructure takes a long time (short-term inelastic supply).
- Operating a transportation system has externalities (pollution, accidents).
- Demand is highly qualitative and differential (goals, timetables,
