The answer is a 'butfer,' a distribution service that can receive material via any mode, store it if necessary and deliver it on a Just-ln-Time basis. Transportation costs can be held down... inequities in production vs. demand moderated...on-hand plant inventories minimized... and relationships with vendors conlinued, and often expanded, lf you decide that J-l-T is what you want... lhat's your business. lf you need help to make it happen.., that's our business.
