Bob Bristol just called to congratulate you on your supply chain management report. It was very well received by the CII management team. Meghan Willoughby, Chief Purser aboard the Friendly Seas I, was especially impressed with your ideas on supplier partnering. She would like you to prepare a similar report addressing just-in-time issues relevant for the Freiendly Seas I. While the management team has heard a great deal about JIT, many wonder just how JIT concepts would apply. Bob suggested you meet with Meghan for more details. This assignment will enhance your knowledge of the material in Chapter 7 of your textbook while preparing you for future assignments.
