Just in time is also about ordering based on need. I am not arguing but have you ever sold to Amazon? They don't buy pallets of anything unless demand is in the 100s per day. They will place orders with their suppliers daily. I was an account manager for years where I dealt with Amazon, Wal Mart and a few other suppliers. Most new products get order by caselots. Say 5 DCs get stock, that means they order maybe 2-3 cases per DC which is great judging from the ranking and sell through.

It's good for us anyway you cut it. Long and strong. Not trying to be negative, just sharing and making sure people don't overvalue what Amazon brings to the table. Our goal NEEDS to be Wal Mart who order pallets of products to ship to thousands of locations.
