How to make Just-ln-Time work for UoLr... tromplete distribution services - customized to gour needs
Just-ln-Time offers tremendous advantages but il is not lree. Invariably lhere are increased transportation and material costs, and hidden liabilities in having to use alternalive vendors that seem to fit your JIT needs, even though you may prefer the product of another.
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.
