Example: One Store
Simple distribution example showing planning from store to DC to supplier
The one store example shows how need for one unit of item_1 at store_1 is propogated up the supply chain. The store doesn't have any inventory, so it searches it's only available source, dc_1, for additional quantity. dc_1 has no inventory so it requests the 1 unit of item_1 from supplier_1. supplier_1 is a genesis node, it has unlimited supply, so it is able to supply dc_1 with the 1 unit of supply. dc_1 then shares this supply to store_1 to satisfy the original demand for one unit of item_1 at store_1.
