| 摘要： | THE QUEST TO FIND THE HOLY GRAIL OF INVENTORY management has led many companies to settle on one of two approaches-just-in-time or just-in-case-or to bounce back and forth from one to the other. Both strategies have served supply chain managers well through the years, but the decision typically is driven by a pre-pandemic model that's based on product types and the quest for supply chain efficiency. In todays ever-changing and unpredictable world, neither strategy is enough. It's time for a new, more agile approach- one that begins with the assumption that everything involved in the supply chain is subject to change as quickly as the waters of a swift-flowing stream. Inventory management that doesn't monitor the currents and condi- tions and respond accordingly is dead in the water. We aren't suggesting that just-in-time or just-in-case have become irrelevant, but that neither approach in extreme will produce the consistent results that managers want and customers demand from today's supply chain. What is needed is a strategy that anticipates change and pivots with the circumstances so that inventories are available when needed and never stockpiled when they are not-one that goes with the flow. |
