What is it? Bluestone Metals Inc. is a metal fabrication firm that manufactures prefabricated metal parts for customers in a variety of industries. The firm's motto is "If you need it, we can make it." The CEO of Bluestone recently held a board meeting during which he said that the company had the capability to build any of its products using a lean manufacturing model that allowed the company to keep inventory levels low. What advantage is there to the company to keep the company's inventory levels low? If you were a consultant, how would you advise the CEO to make this change? What might be some unintended consequences?
