A coordinated, or "joint-replenishment," system to manage the plug-in circuit card capacity in Remote Terminals or any remote location is advantageous for managing ongoing telecommunications growth, Methods and systems facilitate decisions about when to send a technician to an RT to add ADSL line cards, how many, and to which channel banks serving which Distribution Areas. The system is deemed "coordinated" because the inventory position of ADSL ready cable-pairs between the RT and each DA's cross box served by the RT is considered when making the decision of whether or not to dispatch a technician to the RT for the purpose of adding capacity. The control parameters are calculated, updated, and maintained as part of the system at the DA level.
