I’ve been reevaluating our approach to Just-in-Time delivery. While it improves efficiency, I’ve noticed it can lead to stockout situations, especially with suppliers who have longer lead times. I’m curious, how do others balance speed and reliability in their supply chain strategies?
I totally get where you’re coming from. We found that establishing a safety stock for critical items has helped us balance speed and reliability. Have you considered a buffer for those longer lead items?
Considering a dual sourcing strategy might help. I’ve found that having a backup supplier for critical components not only enhances reliability but also adds flexibility in case of delays. Have you thought about diversifying your supplier base?
