According to their website Dell is an American company selling information technology products such as Desktops, Servers, Notebooks, Netbooks, Televisions, Scanners and others. It is one of the biggest companies in the U.S. and they are "the preferred desktop and laptop provider of enterprises in the US". Moreover, they have been the "No. 1 PC supplier to small and medium businesses in the United States for 10 years in a row".
I have often heart about their just-in-time manufacturing process but I have never learnt about it. I would finally like to take the chance to have a look at Just-in-Time Inventory Control and how Dell manages to build its computers just in time.
I will start with an introduction to Just-in-Time:
Sometimes it is a good idea to have a look at Wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Just-in-time_%28business%29)
They say that Just-in-Time is an
inventory strategy that strives to improve a business's return on investment by reducing in-process inventory and associated carrying costs.
An "inventory strategy" is a way of viewing inventory and how it relates to management.
