In modern warehouse management, companies are faced with the challenge of organizing their inventories both cost-efficiently and reliably. Two main strategies have been established in this area: just-in-case (JIC) and just-in-time (JIT). While JIT focuses on demand-oriented production and storage, just-in-case logistics focuses on holding sufficient inventory for every kind of eventuality. In this blog article, we shed light on the just-in-case (JIC) principle, its advantages and challenges, and its implementation in practice. We will also show how the combination with the OTIF key figure (On-Time, In-Full) maximizes efficiency and customer satisfaction.
