Memorandum purchases are when a retailer places an order with a manufacturer, but the manufacturer retains ownership of the inventory until it is sold to the end customer. This does not enable the retailer to reduce their inventory levels since they do not own the inventory until it is sold. The other options (direct store delivery, floor-ready merchandise, quick response inventory planning) all enable a retailer to reduce their inventory levels by streamlining the supply chain and reducing the amount of time inventory spends in transit or in storage.
