Just-in-Case Inventory

Just-in-Case inventory is a strategy where a company keeps extra stock on hand to prepare for unexpected events or demand spikes. Instead of only ordering products as needed, the business maintains a safety buffer to ensure they can meet customer needs even if there are delays, supply chain disruptions, or sudden increases in demand. This approach helps prevent stockouts and delays, providing reliability and peace of mind. However, it also involves higher holding costs since more inventory is stored than immediately required. It’s a proactive way to manage risks associated with supply and demand uncertainties.
