JIT-Just In Time by Country Supply Chain and Partner Resale

Alternatives for Just In Time supply chain purchase models.

  2. To enable this exception path, the rule MUST assume that the P&L owner by Buy-Sell, a budget manager or operations manager partnered to support a VP with a P&L and resources 
  3. A financial analyst partnered with the budget and operations manager assigned to the same VP with P&L responsibility.  
  4. Each shares a grouping of countries within a certain buy-sell

    2. Consider the system integrator model, as an alternative to this out of country model. 
Option 2 - Exception
