A supplier attempting to meet the rigorous standards of a lean retailer—whether a shirt manufacturer for Wal-Mart, a pasta-maker for Ralph’s Food, or an electronic drill supplier for Home Depot—must hold a far larger amount of inventory if it has not invested in a comprehensive set of information technology and short-cycle production capacity.
