Abstract

Rotron has recently entered the commercial motor market, after many years of servicing government military contracts. Faced with fierce commercial competition, Rotron has attacked its costs and reduced its delivery times and its plants. A new crisis, however, is causing it to rethink its just-in-time production system, and the plant manager must decide whether to re-introduce inventory for key production.
