This greatly improved stock control. Shorter flows for raw material
and the collection of waste from the production line also help
make sure materials are in the right place at the right time, thus
improving efficiency. JIT helps make big efficiency gains for Nestlé
Waters. This requires excellent relationships with suppliers and
distributors. Suppliers must deliver quality resources on time and
distributors must ensure bottles are picked up immediately when
they are ready. This aspect required a lot of planning but has
delivered great benefits.
