Discuss what the above statement means and whether you agree with it. Describe how anorganisation that you have experience of, or have researched, has benefitted from just-in-time (JIT) techniques and with special reference to inventory control. Also discuss whether the potential benefits-and drawbacks-of such JIT techniques are limited to large manufacturing businesses or whether they have wider applications for otherorganisations.
