Michelle--Yes, we disagree, which is ok for me. You are correct in assessing my position on Dell the person -- he was a pain in the butt and was not getting anywhere in building the organization he needed to take the build to order model to the next stage. His personal reconstruction was key to getting on with the full potential of DELL. The most important thing is DELLs ability to fit their product to the customer -- to build to order. I have no idea why you would identify JIT as something distinct from build to order -- any true JIT system is build to order -- that is what JIT means. To make JIT work you must have orderly inbound and outbound logistics, this is true. But what good does that do without build to order? Nothing. IN the case of AMZN, build to order means print to order. No print to order -- no realistic comparison to DELL.
