How is “just-in-time” inventory related to the DASF system?

The concept of “just-in-time” inventory is fundamentally about optimizing efficiency by ensuring that supplies are delivered precisely when needed, rather than being stored in excess. This approach is closely aligned with the objectives of the DASF system, which aims to manage requisitions in a way that reduces waste and promotes effective resource management within the USMC supply chain. By delivering supplies only as they are required, “just-in-time” inventory minimizes the costs associated with holding large amounts of inventory, such as storage costs and the risk of obsolescence. This method enhances the overall effectiveness of the supply chain, enabling units to remain agile and responsive to changing operational demands.
