Question

how did Jones handled the inventory/shipment​

Answer 1

Answer:

The promise of one- and same-day shipping has forced companies to rethink a classic academic problem in the world of supply chain: Where does a company put its inventory? As companies work to live up to the promise of snappy speed, the result is increased demand for warehouse space close to major metropolitan areas and higher inventory spending for many companies.

"This is kind of the age-old dilemma in supply chain: right product, right place, right time, right quantity," Joe Dunlap, the managing director of Supply Chain Advisory at CBRE, said in an interview with Supply Chain Dive. "And I think it's been exacerbated the last seven or eight years as retail has become hypersensitive to e-commerce sales and omnichannel."
