JIT vs JIC - some resources

The discussion on the Just in time (JIT) approach in operations management very often starts with an explanation between the following pairs of concepts:

  1. Just in time (JIT) vs Just in case (JIC): ref 1: http://www.leanmanufacturingconcepts.com/JustInCaseVsJustInTimeProcessing.htm; ref 2: on JIC: http://www.investopedia.com/terms/j/jic.asp#axzz2832YFQR1
  2. Push supply chain vs Pull supply chain : ref 1: http://www.advantageinternational.com/www/content/default.aspx?cid=921&fid=726; ref 2: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Push%E2%80%93pull_strategy [In this case: Push supply chain is related to the JIC approach while Pull supply chain is associated with the JIT approach]
