How do you think the stockholders would react to this information? What options do you have to deal with the concerns of the stockholders without creating any additional risk?

Just-in-time (JIT) inventory systems were first developed by the Japanese and quickly adopted around the globe by many large firms. One of the first to adopt the system in the United States was the automobile industry.
