¶ … narrative introduction conclusion analyzing case study. Be address:
Overall, Lisa Harrington's "From just in case to just in time" provides a case study of the inventory and supply chain management needs of the airline (MRO) industry. It acknowledges the fact that improvements in parts and technology are creating a situation in which airlines are in need of less equipment than they previously used to require. As such, overstocking of inventory is commonly found throughout this industry, which is paving the way for a couple of different options. One of these is for Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) to take an active role in not only provisioning equipment but also in monitoring and maintaining it. Another is the emergence of airline supply parts/inventory management companies such as AAR. Lastly, there is a need for third party alternative OEM providers to provision and maintain equipment, while possibly emphasizing a "dynamic delivery ability" (Li and Chan, 2011, p. 5635). What is interesting about this...
Still, there are a bevy of other problems that are plaguing this industry, which include, among other things,, "late deliveries from suppliers, long order cycle times and high expedited freight-costs…service levels stuck in the high 80% to low 90% range…and…complex requirements around parts tracking, quality control and regulatory compliance" (Harrington, 2007, p. 78). The end result is that airlines are in a situation in which they need more efficient management of their parts and inventory. They have options, but competition (particularly on the part…

(Reza, 2009) This information is building off of the findings from Uthayakumar. This is illustrating how the two tier system can help to streamline operations. However, as time goes by these ideas will become obsolete. The reason why is because they are focusing on particular aspect of supply chain management (i.e. during emergencies and backlogs). Where is it is failing, is through understanding how this strategy could be used when

Supply Chain Strategy When it comes to companies sharing business relationships, and occasionally shareholdings, as well, a Keiretsu network is often the best way to integrate and manage that group of companies (Jacoby, 2009). In that way, the relationship between the businesses becomes a partnership instead of only that of buyer-seller (Jacoby, 2009). There are many long-term benefits of this type of network, and these benefits could be carried over to
Supply Chain Performance Supply chain Indeed, comprehensive measures of supply chain performance including total chain cost can sometimes becomes difficult to develop due to the fact that as the product gets to be known within the market, there can be a fluctuation in demand with large decrease at some points. Supply chain metrics have been associated with internal logistics measures. Failure to have widely accepted definition for supply chain management as well
