Discuss just-in-time (JIT) logistics and how stock levels are calculated.

When a big event happens worldwide, like a natural disaster or a pandemic, it can significantly impact the supply chain. The supply chain acts as a large network that helps get products from where they are made to where they are needed. When something major happens, it can disrupt this network. Global events can cause delays and shortages in the supply chain, which can affect what we can buy and how much it costs.
