• IN 1954, TWO BROTHERS ran a small, but busy, restaurant in San Bernardino, California.

• Ray talked to Richard and Maurice(Mac) McDonald, the owners of the restaurant. He saw how they prepared the food using equipment that they had invented. The service in the restaurant was fast and the prices were inexpensive.

JIT供应方式具有很多好处，主要有以下三个方面： 1. 零库存。用户需要多少，就供应多少。不会产生库 存，占用流动资金。 2.最大节约。用户不需求的商 品，就不用订购，可避免商品积压、过时质变等不 良品浪费，也可避免装卸、搬运以及库存等费用。 3.零废品。JIT能最大限度地限制废品流动所造成的 损失。废品只能停留在供应方，不可能配送给客户。
