peer agreement (net): +1ミルクラン Explanation: Please see the Japanese site below. Example of a milk run: Automotive manufacturers require suppliers to use returnable containers. Oftentimes a truck goes around picking up containers from various suppliers, and delivering containers. This is called a milk run. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 5 hrs 43 mins (2004-09-13 01:08:17 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- The milk run refers to one truck which makes stops at several different suppliers before arriving at the customer factory. (Several suppliers\' parts are on the same truck, instead of each supplier sending a truck to the car manufacturer.) This is used especially for suppliers who do not ship enough parts each day to use up a full truckload. Reference: http://www.alpha-net.ne.jp/users2/gzmgzm/article/07/06.html |
