    Hello John,

    ” A JIT system implies relatively low reorder cost”

    1. Could you explain how the statement is correct?
    -In a JIT system as order raw materials when we get an order; therefore for every order received, we place an order and hence increase the reorder costs/

    2. Please explain where I am getting things wrong.

    Thanks

    Certainly JIT means more orders.

    However for it to be worthwhile adopting a JIT system, the reorder cost each time needs to be fairly small, otherwise the total reorder cost would get very high and make it not worthwhile doing.
