IH Opens New Computer Center
International Harvester has combined the memory of the computer, the speed of jet air freight, and the dependability of local truck transport into the most efficient parts distribution system in industry today.
Called COMPUTAIR, the new system which is in operation at all IH national and regional parts depots, cuts at least one-half the time out of shipments of emergency parts orders to dealers and customers. According to John C. Bulleit, IH's director of parts distribution, the revolutionary system which has been under development for over three years, is unmatched in the motor truck, farm and industrial equipment industries.
Here is how it works. The dealer phones his regional parts depot which carries a stock of parts for which there is a regular demand. He is automatically put "on line" with the Company's corporate computer center in Hinsdale, Illinois. As the dealer talks, the IH operator types his order into an IBM 2260 console. The order is immediately processed at the center and picking and shipping instructions are transmitted in "micro-seconds" to the regional depot. If the order calls for a part which is stocked at another regional depot or at one of three national depots which handle light-demand parts, instructions are simultaneously transmitted to that operation.
The regular items on his emergency order are picked, packed, and shipped from his regional depot the same day the order is placed. At the national depot, his order is picked, packed, and placed in a standard container with other dealer orders from the same regional depot. That same night, the container is forwarded by truck to the Company's consolidation terminal near O'Hare airport where containers from the three national depots are consolidated into "igloos" designed specifically for jet freighters.
Space on flights to depot cities are reserved nightly and the following morning the shipments are de-consolidated at the regional depot. The individual orders are immediately forwarded to the dealer.
Dewey Portland Adds New Barge
A unique, new 7,000-barrel cement barge soon will be transporting Dewey Portland Cement Company products from the Davenport plant to Dewey's St. Paul, Minnesota, distribution terminal.
D. Cameron Bradley, president of Dewey, a division of Martin Marietta Corporation, announced the arrival of the new barge. He commented that "with the delivery of this barge, we enter the last phase of a $1.29 million expansion program designed design to provide better over-all service to our customers."
The barge is the first of two being built for Dewey by Dravo Corporation as sub-contractor to Halliburton Corporation's Special Products division. The second barge (Continued on page 30)
