The 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.
What is in this drawing
Read the decisions behind it.
01
High demand variability favors JIT if storage is tight and holding costs high
02
Low variability allows bulk if holding costs acceptable
03
Compare total logistics cost and service level to decide final shipping quantity strategy
Use when comparing shipping quantity strategies for automotive components where inventory cost, storage space, and demand stability are key factors.
