Best of Both Worlds

Many companies are moving their production practices towards the JIT or Just In Time methodology. But there are some issues with this as was with the conventional methods, foremost being the limiting of stock.

"Just In Time is a way of managing operations so that they run leanly and efficiently. JIT requires giving up your "Just In Case" safety net, and controlling supplies and inventory to levels that just support production. The main emphasis of JIT is on cost reduction and minimal waste."

By having Reserve or Safety Stock on hand at Suncoast locations you can continue JIT practices and still maintain a kind of "Safety Net", allowing your production capabilities to have the best of both worlds.
