Agrégation

French term or phrase: Agrégation
CONTEXT :: Talking about spare parts for machinery. This is a heading, hence a single word, and is followed by
15.1 Chez le fournisseur
15.2 Sur le site

I'm thinking this is to do with where the spare parts are stored i.e. some are kept at the manufacturer's premises and other stored on site but 'Aggregated' doesn't seem the right word to use in English. Any ideas on what I can use as the heading here?

Thx

Explanation:
I'd say this is a distinction between delivery EX WORKS Manufacturer/Supplier's Facility (i.e. the seller makes the goods available at its premises and the customer needs to collect them) and delivery to the Customer's Site.

For Ex Works please see: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Incoterms
