Domain-specific¶
- Milk Run
- Lean manufacturing inbound logistics — the Toyota Production System supplier loop, the logistics complement to kanban, collecting components from many suppliers on a fixed sequenced route to the assembly plant. School transportation — a fixed morning and afternoon bus loop consolidating what would otherwise be parent-by-parent trips. Field-service routing — meter readers, equipment-service technicians, and home-care nurses running scheduled multi-site loops per shift. Clinical sample-collection circuits — a courier gathering daily samples from many clinics to a central lab on a fixed route. Postal and courier delivery — the regular scheduled delivery route as a milk run, with trunk-to-spoke batching a more sophisticated variant. Warehouse robotic fleets — scheduled autonomous-mobile-robot loops visiting fixed picking stations on a clock, the pattern at intra-warehouse scale
This sourceThe in-plant milk run - fixed, scheduled circuits serving a fixed set of stations inside a facility, which is the intra-facility-scale proposition the marker sits on.

Verification¶
Does it exist? Not checked yet. This work's DOI is recorded above but has not been resolved against an external catalogue, so nothing here confirms the work exists.
Does it back the claim? Not recorded. The single citation of this work carries no recorded support check.
Support is checked per citation rather than per work — the same source can be cited soundly in one article and wrongly in another. Per-citation recording began recently, so a citation with no recorded check is a gap in the record rather than evidence it went unchecked.
