Unlike traditional inventory models that trigger replenishment at fixed reorder points, Just-in-Time inventory systems order solely on actual demand. Materials move directly from suppliers into production or to end customers, bypassing intermediate warehousing. These systems require short replenishment cycles, minimal safety stock, and tight integration between ERP and demand-planning tools. The primary benefit is reduced working capital tied up in stock and faster inventory turnover. The structural trade-off is supply chain fragility: a single upstream disruption—whether a late shipment or a supplier failure—can immediately halt production.
