Place: Distributing the Product

This is an example of a Just in Time system. I think that this technology is the most interesting method of distribution in this chapter. The novel concept that being one unit of over of your product is the same level of inefficiency as being one unit short is intriguing. This analysis is based off of the idea that because production leaving the factory is exact, there is no room in a plant for costly and disrupting storage area. Along with JIT systems it is not just the production of the goods that must be exact, but also the materials coming into the production plant as well. Multiple parties are involved in and benefit from the Just in Time systems.
