Just In Time

The Just In Time (JIT) option removes stock from a customer's premises, freeing up space for more producitve activities and guarantees availability of product at the time of need.

The customer provides MBW with a schedule of product based on the forecast demands of the business.  MBW will hold the stock and deliver agreed amounts on a call off basis to meet schedule requirements.  Although JIT is most suited to a consistent manufacturing operation the system allows for flexibility where delivered quanitities can be increased or decreased according to demand.

To implement this arrangement a contractual agreement is required and minimum quantity guarantees may be required on special items.  However, the customer benefits include:

  • Reduced inventory
  • Improves cash flow
  • Fixed prices for the period of the agreement
  • Reduced warehousing allowing for more productive activities
  • Assured supply of product at the time of need
  • Reduced obsolescence
