Abstract

The article discusses the evolution of inventory management strategies in response to recent global disruptions, questioning whether businesses should shift from Just-in-Time (JIT) systems to Just-in-Case (JIC) approaches. Historically, JIT, introduced by Kiichiro Toyoda of Toyota Motor Corporation, emphasized efficiency and minimal inventory but has been criticized for lacking resilience during crises such as the COVID-19 pandemic and geopolitical conflicts. As companies reassess their supply chains, there is a growing emphasis on building resilience through increased stockpiles, dual-sourcing strategies, and advanced data analytics. The article highlights the potential role of Generative AI in enhancing supply chain management and improving transparency and agility moving forward. [Extracted from the article]
