For examples in retailers segment, this takes the shape of postponing the delivery of the final product to its destination, while for assemble-to-order manufacturers this means postponing the final assembly of the product.

The consigned stock is owned by the supplier until the customer consumes it, and the non-consigned stock is owned by the customer when the customer receives it.
