1. What caused the difficulties that the JITD program was created to solve? The problems that JITD intended to solve: ● Demand fluctuation: Barilla suffered increasing operational efficiencies and cost penalties that resulted from large week to week variations in its distributors’ order patterns. According to the Exhibit 12 , the demand variability was huge so it was very difficult for the whole supply chain to forecast the demand and order accordingly. ● Furthermore, the production line of Barilla had a long setup/change process and was highly automated as well.

This power is much too overwhelming, because of the outrageous detriments that it could have on the economies of the world. Many large corporate monopolies are detrimental to many economies around the world, because, as a result of their misuse of power, monopolies have no incentive to improve or do more than what is necessary; they have extremely high prices at extremely low supply, and they do not use resources efficiently. These three factors could lead to much inefficient use of the limited supply our countries have, as well as decreasing GDP because of the lack of spending due to the extremely high prices, ultimately decrementing economies around the world. With less or no monopolies, economies and consumers can finally breathe easy, without the fear of high prices or inefficiency. First, the many monopolies in the world are detrimental to the economy because the lack of competition gives company little incentive to do more than what is needed.

The errors that result from errors in translation are the cause of many problems in invoicing and making payments.

In short, availability and scalability of the application takes a hit.
