CASE ANALYSIS

Scenario

An automotive manufacturer needs to choose between frequent small just-in-time shipments and infrequent bulk stockpiling for a component, based on demand variability, storage constraints, and total cost.

Key decisions

  • High demand variability favors JIT if storage is tight and holding costs high
  • Low variability allows bulk if holding costs acceptable
  • Compare total logistics cost and service level to decide final shipping quantity strategy

When to reuse this

Use when comparing shipping quantity strategies for automotive components where inventory cost, storage space, and demand stability are key factors.
