There would be no discarded sandwiches in either case, since the next day all could be
sold. But it does require the sellers to use up the old inventory first. Ajax would need a
linkage to each selling site to know how many less sandwiches to send each day (i.e.,
gross-to-net).

The master production schedule for assembling sandwiches could be used to determine
the forward need (forecast) of peanut butter requirements. It could also be used for
payments assuming the schedule is actually achieved. Another potential source of
information for payments could be the actual build results perhaps coming from labor
reporting in the HR systems. Additionally, there would probably be information in the
sales units for shipments to the various outlets that could be used. If the payment was
based on actual end item sandwich sales then it would be necessary to connect to the
selling unit to the detailed sales analysis. A problem here is that the supplier should also
be paid for sandwiches not sold. It would also be necessary to periodically reconcile the
inventories in both companies.
