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.
